NEWPORT BEACH : 4,000 Golf Balls and Equipment Stolen
A burglar broke into a country club building late Sunday or early Monday and stole 4,000 golf balls and some ball washer parts, authorities said.
An employee at Big Canyon Country Club arrived at work and found the storage building door ajar about 6:45 a.m. Monday, Police Sgt. Jim Kaminsky said. Gone were golf balls worth about $2,330 and equipment from a padlocked cabinet.
Investigators said they found no sign of forced entry or fresh pry marks on the door of the storage building, Kaminsky said.
Police seized a beer can and a cap that might have belonged to the thief to test for fingerprints, police said.
