Police Investigate Residential Burglary

Fort Morgan police are looking for information about a day-time burglary that occurred in the 800 Block of East Eighth Avenue on February 16th. The homeowner left the residence earlier in the day and returned home several times throughout the day. When they finally returned home later that evening, they discovered a laptop computer missing, though at that time, nothing else seemed to have been taken. However, upon further investigation by the resident, they discovered some power tools missing from the garage. It is believed the thefts occurred sometime during the day, and the burglar may have found an open door inadvertently left unlock by the owner. Items take in the burglary include a laptop computer with a brand name of “Ultra” and two DeWalt cordless drills, one possibly a 12-volt and the other an 18-volt. Anyone with information on this or other crimes is asked to call the Fort Morgan Police Department at 867-5678 or CRIMESTOPPERS at (970) 542-3411.

Internet Safety Seminiar in Sterling Tonight

Several local agencies that work directly with youth have gotten together and formed a committee to address the issue of technology and safety among youth. This committee will be hosting a Wired 4 Safety community presentation this evening at 6:30 in the Sterling High School Auditorium. Committee member and Coordinator of Youth Services, Virgie Nelson, explains the main goal of the presentation.






The presentation is meant for parents, not students. Nelson says that the committee plans to take their presentation to other area schools and eventually to one-on-on classroom interactions.
