Main Street Pawn Burglarized for Second Time in Three Months
"I think there's just a whole bunch little thieves out there." That's the response from the owner of Main Street pawn, Robert Carlson, which was again burglarized Friday morning.

For the second time in three months, the pawn shop was broken into early in the morning.

According to police reports, the front window door was kicked in. Merchandise, like electronics, were strewn all over the floor, having been moved from their locations on various shelves.

Carlson noticed his main computer and debit card machine had been moved as well.

It is estimated more than $700 in items like cameras, jewelry and game consoles was stolen.

Main Street Pawn at 712 East Main Street was also burgled in the middle of August, when suspects took a knife, made to look like an old hand gun and some silver chains.

Police are still investigating the incident.
