The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a burglary at a home on Fox Farm Road south of De Soto, which was vandalized. The damage was estimated at about $1,200, the Sheriff’s Office reported.
The victim reported leaving the house at approximately 7 p.m. Aug. 20 and returning at about 9 a.m. the next day and discovering the vandalism. It looked like someone forced open the front door to get into the house and then threw garbage around the kitchen and damaged windows and other items around the house, the report said.
In addition to damage to the front door, which was estimated at $100, 10 windows were broken, and the damage to those was estimated at $100 each. Drywall was torn off a wall, causing another $50 in damage, and waterlines were cut in the bathroom and bedroom, leaving water on the floor and causing more damage, according to the report.
Sheriff’s Office spokesman Grant Bissell said Sept. 4 that no arrests had been made. He asks anyone with information about the incident to call the Sheriff’s Office at 636-797-5515.
