About $1,000 in tools recently was stolen from a home in the 8600 block of West Shore Drive in the Hillsboro area, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office reports.
Between Feb. 25 and Feb. 28, someone forced open the front door and stole Bostitch tools, including a 24-volt hammer drill, a router and a roofing gun, the report said.
