A home on the 100 block of Revere Court was burglarized on Sept. 13 between 12 Noon and 3 pm, according to Collegeville Police.

A police report states that unknown individuals broke into the home through a window in the basement, and then forced the basement door open with what appeared to be two screwdrivers.

A white safe with an electronic keypad was removed from the house, as well as several rings, bracelets and necklaces,  a two-piece gold box and $4,000 in cash. Additionally, many personal financial papers were removed, including tax forms, social security cards, birth certificates and other documents.
