Limestone County authorities are looking for anyone who may have seen burglars removing $30,000 in fencing and tools from a local fencing company.

When employees of All State Fence at 26921 Old Alabama 20 arrived for work Tuesday morning, they discovered someone had cut a hole in the building, entered, raised an overhead door and removed fencing, said Limestone County Chief Investigator Stanley McNatt. Tools also were missing from a truck.

“It happened sometime between close of business Monday and when they opened Tuesday morning,” McNatt said. “So far, we have no leads.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the Limestone County Sheriff’s Department at (256) 232-0111.
