Christmas gifts taken from East Side home

YOUNGSTOWN — Reports said some wrapped Christmas gifts were among several items taken from an East Side home Wednesday afternoon.

Police were called about 5:30 p.m. to a home on North Jackson Street, where a woman who lives there told them she drove by her house and saw her front door open. The woman said she saw two men run out of her house into a waiting car, which then drove through the side of her yard to get away.

Reports said someone took an air conditioner out of a window to get inside. Besides the gifts, two large-screen televisions, two video-game consoles and a laptop computer were also taken.
