Appliances, paint machines and other items recently were stolen from a home under construction in the 900 block of Konert Lake Drive in the Jefferson County portion of Fenton. The burglary happened between Feb. 4 and Feb. 5, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office reports.
The home is part of a subdivision being built in the area, Cpl. Matthew Moore said.

Among the stolen items was a stove, dishwasher and microwave; two paint machines; dozens of light fixtures and light bulbs; and miscellaneous electrical parts. In all, the items were valued at $5,379, the report said.
