Thieves broke into the Rappahannock Farmers Co-op last week and escaped with approximately $2,000 in cash and checks. According to Sheriff W. A. Buntin, the robbery occurred between 9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23 and 5 a.m. the following morning. Buntin said the robbers forced entry through a door on the west side of the building, apparently with a crow bar. Using tool$ off the Co-op’s shelves seven or eight big screw drivers, wrecking bars and a sledge hammer — they broke open the company’s safe. “They had all the tools they needed in there,” Buntin said, adding that the job looked like the work of more than one person. The front cover plate of the safe was “peeled” off and the thick center chiseled and shattered to release the lock mechanism. Investigation into the robbery is continuing with the Sheriff’s department assisted by Frank La$ley, state police investigator with the mobile crime scene lab. In 1965 when the Washington Apples Growers was located in this building the safe was cracked and $600 in cash -taken. A large safe in Sperryville Corner Store was peeled and $4,000 taken in 1969.
