AVON — Firearms and cash were taken Sunday from a Route 4 home during daylight hours, said Lt. Niles Yeaton of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department.
Five weapons and an undisclosed amount of cash were taken from a home near the Lindbergh Airport while the owner was away motorcycling for about six hours.
He came home about 4 p.m. to discover that the house had been gone through, searched and the items missing, Yeaton said. The owner is checking for any additional missing items.
Three shotguns, a Remington hunting 30.06 rifle and a 22-caliber Winchester pistol were taken from the home. The estimated value of the firearms and money is about $4,000, Yeaton said.
Police officers did talk with witnesses who saw a silver-colored van parked in the driveway during the day but the make and model of van is not known yet, he said.
Anyone with more information is asked to call either officer Heidi Gould or Yeaton at 778-2680.
