Campbell police investigating second break-in at Iron City Wood Products

Wednesday, January 29, 2014

CAMPBELL — City police are investigating a report of breaking and entering — the second in a little more than a week — at Iron City Wood Products, a pallet management and recycling facility at 3125 Wilson Ave.

At 1:10 p.m. Tuesday, Iron City’s office manager contacted police after noticing the building’s basement had been broken into. Several cement blocks on the building’s rear were damaged, and entry was gained that way.

The office manager told police she didn’t yet know what had been taken from the business, but that employee and payroll records had been gone through.

In addition, the hole in the cement blocks caused pipes in the building to freeze and break.

On Jan. 20, the office manager reported a candy and soda vending machine in the building had been heavily damaged and its contents taken. She alerted police after finding the men’s restroom window open.
