The Sears store at 539 North Glynn Street in Fayetteville was the target of burglars Monday morning who made away with a wall-mounted television and a chain saw.

Police spokesperson Steve Crawshaw said an officer on patrol discovered a broken window on the Sears storefront at 7:46 a.m. Monday. The front window had been smashed in with a rock, he said.

Store employees determined that a 50-inch television mounted on a wall had been stolen, along with a chain saw, Crawshaw said.

Since officers patrol Hwy 85 all night, I'm betting the thief had a little bit of sense and knew to hit at shift change when there are no officers on the road.

Maybe FPD should take a hint from PCPD and have an "early car" on the road at shift change, so there isn't that 1 hour or more block of time when every officer is sitting at the station.
