Burglar Steals $12 in Coins from Pecos Motors
A thief broke into Pecos Motors Inc at 1205 Cedar St between 6:30 p.m. Thursday and 7:30 a.m. today, rifling desk drawers and taking $12 in old coins.

Officers Butler Smith and Sgt Tony Urquidi investigate. Nearby footprints and bicycle tracks imply a young boy, possibly the same one who entered Corner Conoco the previous night.
