“There were still carriers on the dock getting papers loaded up, and
an employee came
upon them (intruders),” Portsmouth Daily Times Circulation Manager Louann Blair said Monday morning.
Blair said two men were in the front office when the employee arrived.
“One took off out the front door,” Blair said. “She asked them what they were doing up there.”
Blair said the man told the employee they were waiting for someone.
“He had his hand under his shirt and was still trying to open (a) desk while she was standing there,” Blair said. “Then he left, too.”
Blair said Portsmouth Police officers arrived a short time later, and it wasn’t until an employee went to the front of the building to put papers in the rack that he discovered the front door lock had been pried open.
Blair said the intruders were able to get a small amount of change from one desk and several dollars from another before they were discovered.
Portsmouth Police Detective Sgt. Jim Charles said no arrests have been made in the case.







"pryed open a lock assembly." PDT's should have got Amerisco to make their facilities more secure?
So we have an eye witness or two?
They are accused? Does that mean the PPD was called and they were identified and not arrested for the lineup, etc. ????
We just let strangers in our building, without employee I D and the like?
The front door with a dead bolt was not locked?
Is there not any security measures like using mace, etc.
Such a penny ante thing?
Good go Frank.
Is there no security at the PDT's is it just like the city and county governments, open to the cousins?
Theft at the PDT's?
What a dramatic story?
What's the processes for opening the offices? Is this like the nickel and dime-ing of the city government?
What kind of security is there if any?
Can't wait for the resolve of this mystery and a collar? like the car titles theft?
Change misdemeanor to a felon?
Cover-up and flight and more? Can the PPD handle all this without the increase in the income tax?
