Window thieves
SHARON, Pa. -- Police said the stained glass window thieves were at it again in the city. The thieves have the same method of operation -- entering a vacant home through a basement window during the night and removing the windows without neighbors hearing or seeing anything.
This time, they struck at a vacant house in the 300 block of Cedar Avenue sometime Thursday or Friday. Two first-floor windows were removed from their frames, police said Tuesday.
Home invasion charges
SHARON, Pa. -- Two men were jailed on burglary, robbery and conspiracy charges after police said the two burst into a Fourth Avenue home and threatened residents with a baseball bat.
Police said Joseph Kirkland, 39, of New Castle Avenue, and Carlton Estes, 35, of Case Street, Rochester, Pa., forced their way into the home in the 100 block of Fourth Avenue around 7 a.m. Tuesday and stole jewelry. Police arrested Kirkland and Estes as they were getting into a car to leave the area, police said.
The pair were arraigned before District Justice James McMahon, who ordered them held in Mercer County Jail on $25,000 bond each.
Both also had parole detainers filed against them, Kirkland for violating his Mercer County parole on another case and Estes for being a parole absconder from Beaver County, police said. Police didn't know why the two were on parole.
