One of those broken into was Kilmichael’s Chief of Police’s squad car. Chief David Eldridge says at least 10 vehicles were broken into Wednesday (12/19) morning. All the vehicles were at homes on Ridge Road. Among the items taken were wallets, Christmas presents and guns including a shotgun and a pistol from Chief Eldridge’s car.
