Investigators with the Waynesboro Police Department are working a case 
involving a break in and theft at the Waynesboro-Wayne County Library.
According to WPD Chief Holt Ross, the break in occurred some time 
between Saturday night and Monday morning. He said the suspects gained 
entry into the facility without setting off alarms.
Stolen from the library were computers, an undisclosed amount of cash 
and other items, Ross said.
"We are downloading video from the surveillance cameras," Ross said. 
"Once that is downloaded, it will be studied and we hope to obtain 
images of the suspects."
Late Monday afternoon, Library Director Patsy C. Brewer announced the library would be open at 9 a.m. Tuesday and will still be hosting the Santa, Mrs. Claus, Llama Llama Red Pajama Christmas event starting at 3:30 p.m.
Ross said anyone with information is asked to call 601-735-3192 and ask 
for him or any investigator.
