Springs

A 200-gallon propane tank, along with the concrete pad it sat on, was reported stolen the day before Thanksgiving from a Lincoln Avenue backyard.

However, the company told him that was not the case. Mr. Miller said the tank was empty when it disappeared.

The windshield of Carol Vargas’s 2009 Honda was damaged by a thrown object last Thursday morning as she was driving on Springs-Fireplace Road.
