11:05 AM- Officers were dispatched to Ivy Street for a report of a break and entering and larceny.  Officers spoke to a house keeper upon arrival.  She reported she entered the residence that day around 11:00 AM and noticed there were objects thrown around the house.  She told officers the owner of the home has been away.  As she walked through the house she noticed a broken window pane as well as damage to the basement door.  She called the police after observing this.  Officers on scene observed damage to several window screens located at the front of the house as well as the screened-in porch.  A broken window pane on the door that leads into the main house from the side porch was observed as well as an open basement window and damage to the door at the top of the basement stairs.  Several dresser drawers were found open and appeared to have been gone through.  Detectives determined that the burglar gained entry through the basement window after failing to gain entry through the porch.  The house keeper explained that she tends to the home once a week.  She noticed a flat screen TV was missing and a computer.  The owner of the home was contacted and informed of the break in and larceny.  This case is under investigation.
