about items taken. One item was a locked safe which contained different items including a
large amount of cash and important personal documents.

York Officers in a nearby location. From the safe, we were able to lift prints which aided in
our investigation.

pouring in from concerned citizens of York, McVay was able to obtain names of possible
suspects. These suspects were brought in for questioning and later arrested on charges
