Burglary

About $5,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from a home in the 100 block of South Street sometime between Nov. 12, 2012, and Jan. 22.

Theft

Officers responded to a home on Rocky Brook Drive after a resident there called police at 6:46 p.m. on Jan. 20 to report a theft. The victim reported that about two weeks earlier an order was placed with a clothing company but the shipment was never received by the victim. The U.S. postal service confirmed delivery of the package, but the package was apparently removed from the doorway of the residence prior to the victim returning home. Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact the Hightstown Borough Police Department.
