Two cell phones and cash have been reported taken from a Batesville residence, according to Deputy Kirk Green with the Independence County Sheriff’s Office.

Charlotte Harris reported two cell phones and $380 in cash taken sometime between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday when a visitor left her home at 49 Williford St..

In other reports filed with the Independence County Sheriff’s Office:

• Otis G. Wooldridge of 595 Hawkins St. reported a .22 magnum rifle with a 3x9 Tasco scope, a police scanner and a small bag of quarters stolen from his home sometime overnight Sunday.

Wooldridge told police he had been away from home overnight and when he returned he noticed his carport light off and the rear door unlocked.

An inspection of the home revealed the items missing and dresser drawers had been opened.

“The unknown suspects entered the residence through the kitchen window and exited through the rear door after turning off the carport light,” Deputy Fred Friar said.

The items were valued at $350 by Wooldridge.

Friar said evidence was gathered at the scene, but no suspects have been named at this time.

• Jeremy Holland reported that he and his father had some scrap metal piled up to sell at his property in the 900 block of Mount Herman Road and someone damaged a gate and cut a barbed wire fence to get to the metal.

The gate and fence were valued at $430 and the metal at about $100, according to Holland.

A suspect was named, according to Deputy Darin Brewer.
