RICHMOND — The new owner of a mobile home on Bradbury Pointe reported to Richmond police Friday that appliances had been stolen from the home.
A stainless steel refrigerator, a white stove, a white microwave and a three-ton Trane heating and air conditioning unit were discovered to be missing from the home on March 7, said Chief Larry Brock.
The home had been in foreclosure and the new owner was inspecting the home on March 7 when the items were discovered to be missing, Brock said.
No signs of forced entry were found, and Brock said witnesses reported seeing a newer model white Ford pickup at the home with three white men and a white woman loading the items into the bed of the truck.
The value of the items was estimated at $3,700, Brock said.

• More than $1,600 in electronics were reported stolen Saturday from an apartment in the 200 block of Wray Court, Brock said.
Police believe an unlocked bedroom window may have been used to gain entry to the home.

The guns were valued at $550.
