MENTONE - Police are investigating a break-in to Sands Mini Mart in Mentone, where an undisclosed amount of money was reported missing.
An employee coming into work at 3:27 a.m. Monday found a back door open at the store and called police.
The telephone wires at the business were reportedly cut and the store's alarm company advised that the burglar alarm was armed at 12:06 a.m. Monday, but disarmed at 12:20 a.m. that day.
Although the door was found open, it did not appear to have been forced. Also, the suspect reportedly left a poem typed on a computer in the store.
The Mentone Police Department and Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department are investigating the matter. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact either agency by calling 267-5667.
