From Cape Story Neighborhood Watch:

On Friday morning, June 11 at 3:00 a.m., a house in the 2700 block of Ocean Shore Ave was burglarized.  A white male, approx. 5’10 – 6’, thin build, dark hair, suntanned, wearing dark shorts and no shirt removed the electric meter from the box and cut cable and telephone wires from the side of the house, then went to the back of the house and broke a window to gain access.  Two flower pots on the inside window ledge fell on the floor which woke the owner.  When the burglar saw the owner, he ran and did not enter the house.  A police report was filed and the electric meter was not found.  If anyone has any information, or finds the electric meter (don’t touch, it may have fingerprints), please call the police.

Please remember to call 911 if you see a crime in action and call 385-5000, option 1, to report crimes after they have occurred or to report any suspicious activity.
