Atmore Police Investigate Business Burglaries

July 8, 2016

The Atmore Police Department is investigating two business burglaries discovered Thursday morning.

About 4:30 a.m., an officer patrolling North Main Street heard the burglar alarm going off at Earle’s Jewelers at 119 Main Street. The officer discovered damage to the front door of the building. Officers entered the building but did not find anyone inside. A short time later, the business owner arrived and verified that several jewelry items were missing.

About 9 a.m., the owner of Marty’s Furniture on Howard Street arrived at work to find that it had been burglarized. The owner told police that it appeared the suspect made entry into the building and damaged the alarm control panel. No furniture items were taken.

Atmore Police have not said if they believe the two burglaries to be related.
