Amherst police are looking for thieves who stole more than $30,000 worth of items in one burglary and a couple hundred dollars in cash during another one in two unrelated crimes reported over the weekend.

The first incident, which happened sometime during the day Friday, led to the theft of several thousand dollars, about $25,000 in jewelry and two laptop computers from a Hickory Hill Road home in the town's Maple-Hopkins area, police said.

A rear window was pried open to gain entry to the home, and several rooms were ransacked, according to police reports.

The other burglary occurred overnight Friday, when thieves threw a piece of concrete through a glass door at Big Four Cleaners at 1822 Maple Road. A couple hundred dollars were taken from the cash register.

Police still are processing evidence from both crimes, they said today.
