Police probing LabCorp break-ins: Computers stolen from two facilities

(Times-News (Burlington, NC) (KRT) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Jun. 16--Burlington police are investigating break-ins into two LabCorp facilities over the last two weeks.

The first incident occurred on June 5 at the new LabCorp building between Main Street and Spring Street in downtown Burlington.

According to police, sometime between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., vandals broke into the building by smashing a pane of glass at a side door.

Two laptop computers were stolen.

The second incident occurred on June 11 and, according to Burlington spokesman Major Tim Flack, this was the worse of the two.

Sometime between 1 p.m. Sunday aftermoon and 6 a.m. Monday morning, the building was ransacked on three floors.

In all, 63 cubicles were trashed.

Flack said the vandals primarily only made a mess, going through the building dumping stuff on the floor and turning things over.

"It was just a malicious act --they were just turning stuff over," Flack said. Property stolen over the weekend included two computer monitors, keyboards, a digital music player and loose change from cubicles.

Damage was minimal in both incidents and included only two broken glass panels from the doors and one from a raided office.
