Deputies Investigate Ballpark Burglary

August 20, 2010

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an attempted burglary at a local ballpark.

Someone tried but failed to make entry into the concession stand at  the Cantonment Cowboys’ park in the 600 block of  Well Line Road. The botched burglary was reported Thursday morning.

The suspects painted over a security camera and tried to take out screws and Plexiglass to gain entry. The bandits were successful in making entry to the park’s press box. Only moderate damage was reported, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information about the attempted burglary is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

    Yes it was a stupid thing…but the sad truth is that it probably was not a stupid kid, but a STUPID ADULT. I to would use a handheld device to stop an intruder and you gotta love your animals they alert you and allow you to be prepared for the intruder.

    I’ve lived in Cantonment by the old ball field for almost 20 years and never had as much as a bike stolen! The last two years we had a neighbors door kicked in in broad daylight by two black males and a white female driving a white older cavalier type car (Didnt know it at the time they came speeding down my road obviously outta place, with another car chasing them) I’ve had potted plants on my poarch get thrown into the road while we were inside watching tv at 11pm. All the mailboxes have been beaten and sometimes left open. Someone cut all the heads of my sunflowers off before they even bloomed. I say please watch and know where your kids are because I can promise you I will protect my family, animals and property. Right now its petty pranks,and there have been several marked cars policing the area (which is sad). I have animals that alert myself as well as the neighbors know which barks are warnings but I also have hand held devices to stop a intruder!

    Ok ppl
    This was a stupid thing
    There shouldn’t have been any money or anything else in the concession stand.
    So why were they breaking in?

    So my guess is it was one of your stupid kids.
    Find out where your kid was at that time and then if it was one of them
    turn them in.

    IT’s the right thing to do!
