WARREN – Two buildings housing three different businesses on Main Street in Warren have been burglarized for the second time this month.
The Warren Store at 284 Main St. and a building at 266 Main St. that contains the Bradley House and Roth Real Estate were broken into on Sunday between 6 p.m. and 11:45 p.m., Vermont State Police said in a news release.
Police responded to a burglary alarm at the Warren Store at 11:45 p.m. and found that a person or persons had forced their way into the building through a side window, stole some inventory and left through the front door, police said.
As they conducted a sweep of the area, police found that 266 Main St. also had been broken into.
Various items were discovered missing from the Bradley House, which is a craft shop and gallery, and items were also vandalized, police said.
Roth Real Estate, which is upstairs from the Bradley House, also was vandalized, said Virginia Roth, who owns the building and both businesses.
The same two businesses were also broken into either late in the night on Nov. 2 or in the early morning hours of Nov. 3.
Roth said she is tired of the burglaries.
"It's not what Vermont is about," she said in a telephone interview. "It's really unfortunate."
Anyone with information is asked to call the Middlesex barracks of the Vermont State Police at 229-9191 or Crimestoppers at 800-529-9998.
