Cash stolen from optometrist’s office

GENEVA — Police are looking for clues in a theft from a Geneva doctor’s office, police reports show.
Dr. Daniel Drought, an optometrist, noticed something was amiss in his office early Monday morning, when he saw the cash drawer open and the plastic insert for the drawer removed, police reports show. A white envelope that held $44 in petty cash also was removed and the money taken, police reports show.
“(Drought) entered through the rear door and said nothing was out of the ordinary,” Officer Todd Emmett said. “Then he noticed the deadbolt was broken on the front door but the regular-door hand lock was still locked.”
Drought found the door had been pried open with a crowbar, police reports show.
Emmett said nothing but cash was taken from the office and nothing else was moved.
“The rest of the office was intact,” Emmett said. “Nothing was missing or disturbed.”
Drought told officers the break-in could have happened any time between late Saturday afternoon and early Monday morning, as the office was closed all day Sunday, police reports show.
Officers dusted the petty-cash envelope and the cash drawer insert but found no fingerprints. Officers also photographed the damage to the front-door jamb and inside the office for evidence, police reports show.
Emmett estimates the thief caused $200 in damage to the door.
Anyone having information regarding this theft is asked to call the Geneva Police Department (440-466-1111).
