Witness Qives Description Of Suspect
“It could never happen to me,” is the typical line used by business people. But on December 21 itwdid happen. The Associated Hardware located in the Quaker Village Shopping Center was burglarized of $850 in cash.
Store manager John Scitticatt said he, had been following his usual closing routine. He had taken money from the cash register and put it in a drawer of a desk in the rear of the store about 8:50 p.m. Upon returning to the back of the store around 9 p.m. to take the money to the bank, he found the drawer pried open and all of the money taken out.	;
Knew Pattern
Mr. Scitticatt made a report to the Leetsdale Police. Those concerned believe the burglary had been committed by someone who was familiar with ScittR catt’s pattern; since only the drawer containing the money had been pried open.
Six people were in the store at the time of the burglary but apparently none were aware of what was going 'on. Scitticatt was greatly relieved when a witness with a description of a suspect appeared two days after th(* act. A description from the wit-■ ness, who wishes to remain anonymous, was given to the police. •
Description
The suspect is believed to be of average height, light complected, slender (about 175 lbs.), curly blond hair, and wearing a dark leather jacket and boots.
A second suspect was reported to have dark hair.
The crowbar Used to pry the drawer Was impounded by the' police.
The suspects, who made entry through the front door, were believed to have been in the store several times that day. A description given by David L. Ed-' gar of Sewiekley, an employee of the store, matches that given by,the other witness,
