(KAIR)--An investigation is underway, focused on what authorities say was an attempted break-in at an Effingham residence.
According to a release from Atchison County Undersheriff Toby Smith, the resident of 8909 274th Road reported the crime late Friday night. That followed her discovery that someone had entered her unlocked garage, and then attempted to enter the residence through a garage access door.
Although entry was not successful, the door and lock were damaged when an attempt was made to pry it open. That damage is estimated at around $250.
Nothing was taken from the home, and there are not yet any suspects.
The investigation is continuing.
