Reward offered for stolen lock box containing cash

A reward is being offered for information on a Bybee Drive burglary on Sunday night in which a lock box containing thousands of dollars was taken.

‘The victim has offered a reward, saying he’ll give a portion of whatever is recovered to the person who provides information which leads to its recovery,’ said McMinnville Police Investigator Barry Powers, noting the exact amount of reward money was not given but time is of the essence as the sooner the money is recovered, the more there will likely be to portion out a reward.

The burglary happened between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. Sunday evening at 158 Bybee Branch Drive, the home of Kylan Myers. The victim reported returning home to discover someone had taken several items from his house including a lock box containing the large sum of money, which was missing from a bedroom. Police have not revealed the exact amount.

Powers said there was no apparent sign of forced entry and that witnesses saw a lone male walking nearby around the time of the heist.

Anyone having information concerning the identity of the burglar or location of the money should contact police at 473-3386 to be eligible for the reward.
