A 74-year-old Yukon man called the Texas County Sheriff’s Department on Friday to report that someone had broken into his Bobwhite Road cabin and stolen four guns.
The man said he hadn’t been to the cabin since January, but that neighbors who watch it for him told him that during a routine check, they found evidence someone had been there.
The man said that while the cabin’s door was still padlocked, a window was broken and it was obvious that the bed had been slept in and the stove used to cook food.
An empty Jack Daniels bottle was also found in a trash can. The value of the guns is unknown.
The following are other matters recently dealt with by the sheriff’s department:
