Shop-Rite Burglarized
During Weekend
Approximately $400 worth of
^^chandise was stolen from
Shop-Rite Supermarket over the
week end, with the thieves en¬
tering through a rear door. The
theft was not discovered until
Monday morning when employ¬
ees opened up the store.
Missing items included several
turkeys and cartons of cigaret¬
tes, Zuma Richardson, manager
of Shop-Rite, Inc., said during
a check-up visit Monday.
Sheriff Allison Blevins, Con
investigation of the case. No ar¬
rests had been made by Tuesday.
Entry was forced by boring
holes in one of the back double
entrance doors in order to weak¬
en the wood enough to knock
a hole large enough for a small
person to crawl through and
then unlock the door.
According to Richardson, this
is the first break-in for the Tren
ton branch of Shop-Rite, but
the Fort Oglethorpe store was
burglarized in August of 1956,
making only two for the com¬
pany.
“We profited by our loss,
though,” he said, “for after that,
we bought two money chests and
had them set in concrete. This
is the reason we did not suffer
a heavier loss here in Trenton.”
Neil Palmer is the local mana¬
ger of the store.
