Burglar Breaks Into Huber Heights Non-Profit, Steals Cash

HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio —

Police said some criminals reached a new low when they broke into and robbed a Huber Heights nonprofit organization.

Someone stole more than $200 from the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio's office on Huber Heights.

Huber Heights police Sgt. Charles Taylor said, "It is pretty low. Somebody must be very desperate to break into a charity organization."

The crook tried to break a window with a brick. Upon failing, he or she kicked down a panel underneath it.

The foundation's director, Janine Poppa, said several offices were ransacked.

The crook even broke a vase that was holding money to send children with epilepsy to summer camp.

Poppa said, "I think somebody has to be pretty desperate to think they're going to get money from a nonprofit these days."
