Sheriff’s Office Investigates Break-In

The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a break-in of D & D Foundry on Highway 200 that netted burglars $2,500 in tools and other items between Oct. 9 and Oct. 10.

Investigators were called to the foundry on the morning of Oct. 10 where an employee had found the business had been entered through a back door. Burglars stole an air compressor, pieces of casting aluminum and several brass valves. During the process, suspects left behind several shoe prints on the ground outside the foundry, as well as a clear set of tire tracks.

This was not the first time the business has been burglarized, the Sheriff’s Office said, and the incident remains under investigation.
