A call came into the Huntingdon Police department of an attempted break in at the National Guard Armory in Huntingdon. Upon arrival, Sgt. Joey Hedge took a report that stated that a window was broke out of the side door located on the North side of the building located on Mustang Drive. Upon checking the building, nothing at that time was found to be missing. Later, a rear door was discovered with pry marks and the door handles were broke off, and again, nothing was reported missing. This case is still under investigation and citizens are urged to contact the police department at 986-2906 if they know any information to help solve this investigation. Sgt. Joey Hedge also received a call from a local retailer in reference to shoplifting. Upon arrival, officers spoke with Loss Prevention officer Joe Lowe, who stated that two subjects had left the store without paying for items. The subjects were Ms. Tina Padin of Walnut Circle in McKenzie and Gina Alas also of Walnut Circle in McKenzie. After speaking with both females, they stated that they thought their EBT card had gone through, they were told by the clerk that the card had been declined and to go to the service desk. Instead they subjects walked out the door without paying. Ms. Padin had a prior shoplifting charge in the store, so she was charged also with criminal trespassing. Mr. Fred Cunningham of Walnut Circle turned himself in who was also involved in the incident. Charges were theft under $500 dollars.
