A Maple Street family told police that somebody entered and embezzled their home through an unlocked back door before dawn on Saturday.
The family had asleep in a bedroom with an air conditioner that masked noise, and some time in the early hours of the morning, two iPhones and two laptops were taken from the kitchen, according to a police report. Police are gathering serial numbers of the missing items and notifying companies to be on lookout for them, the report said.
The combined value of the missing items is approximately $3000, the report said.
