Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported burglary Saturday, June 21, on Granite Way but, as far as authorities have been able to determine, no items were actually taken during the break-in.

Occurring sometime between 6 p.m. on June 20 and 9 a.m. on June 21, a broken window, a lone rock and some disheveled furniture is all there is to show for the burglary. Residents were unable to determine whether any items were stolen during the incident.
