An employee of Home Plate Sales, located at Pleasant Grove Place, reported someone entered the business after the work day on Dec. 30 ended and took an undetermined amount of cash from a cash drawer.

According to a report filed by deputy David Michaels of the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office, Nicole Winner reported the theft several days later.

Winner told the deputy someone took cash from a cash drawer which was stored in a back room at the offices of Home Plate Sales.

No forcible entry was indicated at the scene, according to the report.

The theft was believed to have occurred after the business was closed during the New Year’s holiday.

Criminal Investigations Division detectives have been assigned the case.

n A Gary Street resident reported an attempted break-in when he returned home from a recent trip to Florida.

Bob Moore told officer Tyler McGuire of the Cleveland Police Department that he had been in Florida during the New Year’s weekend and returned home Jan. 4 to find someone had removed a window screen and shattered a window in an apparent attempt to gain entry to his home.

Damage was done to the window frame and glass was found broken, according to McGuire.

There was no indication entry was ever made; however, damage to the structure was estimated at $250.

n Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting Drivers License Roadside Safety Checkpoints in Bradley County beginning this weekend.

The checkpoints will be set up in random location in the county.

According to THP officials, checkpoints are an effective means of recognizing the dangers presented to the driving public, by motorists who would violate the drivers license laws of the state.

All scheduled checkpoints are contingent upon weather conditions and manpower availability.
