$25K worth of items stolen in Crafton burglary

CRAFTON HEIGHTS, Pa. — A Crafton Heights man is out about $25,000 after his home was burglarized.

Jewelry and other items were taken.

The break-in has neighbors worried as police still haven't caught a suspect and don't have any leads.

"The window was broken out in the basement on the ground floor," said William Gurtner. "I discovered all the stuff that was stolen, the jewelry and cash that was taken, close to $25,000."

Gurtner told Channel 11 his alarm system is on 99 percent of the time.

"But, evidently, that day it was a hectic morning turning the alarm on, and that's what happened," he said.

Neighbors who did not want to be identified told Channel 11 crimes like these are uncommon.

"I hope they catch him," Gurtner said. "I'm very doubtful he's going to be coming back so it would be nice if they'd apprehend him."
