A Winterville couple believes whoever broke into their home on Beaverdam Road on Wednesday also stole Jack, a 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier.
The home was burglarized between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., when someone kicked in a side door and stole a Nintendo Wii, an iPod, a Nintendo DS, a Kindle Fire, a TV, a rifle and a shotgun, valued at a total of $2,050, Athens-Clarke police said.
Neighbors reported seeing a man running after Jack in the yard Wednesday morning, but officers said that “maybe they were just trying to put him up,” according to one of the victims, Brandy Futrelle.
