Galesburg Police are investigating a burglary at the new Galesburg Public Library construction site. Police responded to the site in the 500 block of West Main Street on Thursday, May 5th, and met with the site superintendent. A Williams Brothers Construction Incorporated trailer was broken-into overnight or early that morning. An estimated $6,000 in tools were missing. The trailer also sustained damage during the break-in. Workers noticed the chain-link security fence had been cut and the trailer’s drop-down door clasps had been damaged. Workers told police all of the tools have “WBC” engraved on them. Most of the tools taken are Milwaukee Brand and include cordless saws, batteries, hammerdrill, rivet gun, grinder, spotlights, grease guns, drills, and lasers. There are no suspects at the time – the investigation is ongoing.
