BARTON, Vt. (AP) - Police say they've made an arrest in a Vermont jewelry store break-in in which the burglar was wearing a wolf mask.
Orleans County Sheriff's deputies arrested 23-year-old Marc Blanc of Barton on Thursday on charges of burglary and grand larceny. He's accused of taking $15,000 in estate jewelry and a 400-pound safe from Barton's Memory Lane last month.
Authorities said someone had broken into the Solid Rock Church next door to the store beforehand. Other burglaries also have been reported in the area.
The Caledonian-Record reports witnesses told police the masked man was in the building for about 15 minutes before leaving with the safe full of gold jewelry. The thief also took silver jewelry from around the store.
