Burglar Steals Snowbird's Rifle, Police Say
The break-in was reported Saturday from Woodleave Road in Bryn Mawr.
A single-shot rifle was among the valuables taken in the recent burglary of a Bryn Mawr house whose owner has been vacationing in Florida, Lower Merion police said in a media briefing Tuesday.
One of the children of the absent Woodleave Road resident that had been checking on the empty house occasionally discovered evidence of the break-in Saturday afternoon.
When exactly the break-in happened was not clear, though two neighbors each reported seeing a medium-complected man and white vehicle at or around the property on Friday.
