Police continue to investigate thefts

Police are aware that there is some sort of connection between the many thefts and acts of vandalism that took place in Sidney and the surrounding area over the past few weeks, according to Sidney Police Chief B.J. Wilkinson.

Two additional thefts took place over the last weekend, from both residential and commercial buildings. Both structures were occupied at the time of the incidents. Police are sharing information with the sheriff’s office, state police and other counties to attempt to get to the bottom of these crimes.

“They’re getting bolder, more innovative and inventive,” Wilkinson said of the criminals perpetrating these acts.
