Vermont State Police are investigating the burglary of a Cornwall home rented by former Massachusetts governor Jane Swift, according to State Trooper Evan Doxsee.
Swift says that when she returned from work at 7 p.m. Tuesday to the house she rents from Middlebury College, she found the front door had been kicked in.
“I immediately went back to my car, locked my doors and called 911,” she says, adding that security training she received as governor came in handy. “Someone had obviously been through the house. There wasn’t a lot to take. They did take a couple prescriptions and some cheap jewelry.”
According to Doxsee, the thief or thieves rummaged through at least six rooms in the house. The trooper said he had no leads.
“I’d say it’s a pretty ongoing thing throughout the entire county that people will break in, steal prescription drugs, loose change, very easily attainable items to sell,” Doxsee says.
