Residents of a home on Pine Ridge Street in the Villages of Tall Trees reported a burglary sometime between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
The homeowners returned to find a bedroom light on and a light on in a bedroom closet.
The wife noticed a drawer for undergarments slightly open. Taken from the drawer were a diamond necklace, gold diamond earrings, and two ankle bracelets.
There were no signs of forced entry, but the homeowner believed the car door might have been left unlocked. A garage door opener was in the car and might have been used to open the garage door. A door from the garage to the open may have been left unlocked, said Lt. Bobby Caruthers of the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
