Burglars Strike Byrneville Community Center
May 8, 2012
Authorities are searching for the persons responsible for breaking into a local community center.
The burglary at the Bryneville Community Center was reported to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office on Monday afternoon after an office filing cabinet was discovered on the ground just outside a door.
Community center officials said someone had broken into the building and an office in an apparent search for cash or other valuables.
“They pulled the filing cabinet outside, but I guess it was too heavy for them to load,” said Walter Porz, president of the Byrneville Community Center, Inc, a local non-profit that manages the county-owned facility.
Porz said the thieves removed all of the paperwork from the filing cabinet, including the meeting minutes the group is required to keep.
“There was nothing valuable in there,” he said. “I’m not sure why they took all of that.”
Anyone with information on the burglary is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

REGARDING:
“perhaps it’s just a judgmental and baseless accusation.”
I imagine he’s just guessing but betcha Sam’s right, and spot-on with “they are everywhere, kinda like roaches.” Whoever did the deed damaged other people’s property either to benefit self or to harm others or both.
Come to think of it, roaches are better.
David for boric acid
its not a police car…its the crime scene unit’s van
That’s a cute little police car.
sam wrote “dopers, looking for something to swap for cash” I am glad you know so much about the thieves. Maybe you could share this with the police. If you are so certain of these facts, the help solve the crime. or perhaps it’s just a judgmental and baseless accusation.
This is so sad! My little girl dances here every week. Its supposed to be a safe place! I hope those fools are caught!
Ms. Porz, What a great act of Christian kindness you have shown in your comment. Instead of the usual name calling and belittling of others. GOD’s grace will triumph always.
dopers, looking for something to swap for cash. they are everywhere, kinda like roaches.
The valuables that were taken were years of records of the center…they can not be replaced…they can’t be sold or traded for money…they have no value to you…so I ask you to please find something good inside you and return them to the community…put them in a box leave them by the door…you came in the dark to break in…you can return them in the dark….if anyone has any information …please call the Sheriff’’s office….this has been a sad day for our community.
