Burglar hits Hedley City Hall

Hedley City Hall was broken into for the second time this year when approximately $100 was stolen early last Tuesday.

According to the Donley County Sheriff’s Office, someone broke out the front window of the building after failing to kick in the door. The thief managed to get into the city’s safe to get the money. The break-in was discovered later by City Secretary Randy Shaw.

Chief Deputy Rand Bond said some evidence was recovered from the scene and officers have some suspects, but the investigation was ongoing at press time.

The office was previously broken into in February of this year when someone kicked in the front door and stole an estimated $150. That case remains unsolved, Bond said.

Any one having any information about either of these crimes is urged to call the sheriff’s office at 874-3533.
