Daylight burglars visited three homes in Concord Saturday afternoon, carrying off a pistol, a number of pieces of jewelry and several suits of clothes. The homes visited were those of Mr. and Mrs. Richmond Reed on North Union street, Mr. and Mrs. L.L. Maudlin on South Union street, and John Griffin, also on South Union street.
Several small diamonds, in a broach, a ring and a stick pin, were carried off from the Reed home, it was reported. The jewelry was in a bureau drawer which was opened by means of an ice pick. The intruder went out the back door carrying with him the key to the front door.
At the Mauldin home two suits of clothes were stolen. It was reported that within the past 12 months, four suits of clothes have been taken from the Maudlin home.
At the Griffin home a pistol and a suit of clothes were stolen.
It was reported that a man was seen leaving the Reed home but the person who saw him did not pay much attention as she did not think the man was a burglar. At the other homes, the intruder was not seen.
The robbery at the Reed home was committed between 5 and 6 o’clock and it is believed that the Maudlin home was entered at about the same hour. The Griffin home was entered earlier in the afternoon, it is said.
So far as is known, the police have no clues to the robberies.
