Reward Offered in Burglary of Snowbound Hardware Company Trailer

On the evening of January 5, 2010 thieves broke into a Westlake Ace Hardware trailer stranded in the alley behind the store located in the Westport Landing Shopping Center. Several portable heaters and  miscellaneous smaller items were stolen. The thefts occurred between 9:00 PM January 5th and  6:00 AM the next morning.

The trailer was disconnected from its driving rig earlier in the day after repeated attempts failed to back up the hill to the loading dock through a thick layer of snow and ice .

 The company is offering a $250.00 reward for information leading to the arrest of persons involved and/or recovery of  stolen property.  Anyone having information about the breakin should contact Bill Denton, Regional Risk Management Manager, by phone (913-888-8438 ext. 2307) or e-mail bdenton@westlakehardware.com
