Allen County police are seeking the public’s help after guns were stolen from a sheriff’s deputy’s home during a weekend burglary.
The burglary was reported about 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the 11000 block of South Anthony Extended. Someone entered the deputy’s home and stole a police gun belt, a department-issued police radio, a department-issued Sig Sauer P220 .45-caliber handgun and a Walther PPK .380-caliber handgun, according to Sgt. Steve Stone, Allen County police spokesman.
A witness told police a black car was parked in the home’s driveway between 9:30 and 10 a.m. that day. Later, another witness reported seeing a black Ford Taurus in the area occupied by several people. A woman and a man exited that vehicle and were seen walking down South Anthony Extended, Stone said.
Anyone with information on the burglary should call Crime Stoppers at 436-7867.

An Allen County man faces four formal charges of child molesting, accused of repeatedly abusing a girl, according to Allen Superior Court records filed Monday.
Jerry Love, 51, of Monroeville, was being held in lieu of $40,000 bail.
Police say the crimes occurred between April and October against a 9-year-old girl. Love contacted police wanting to confess to the crimes at the same time an officer was taking a report regarding allegations of child molestation against the same girl, documents state.
Love told police he would touch the girl inappropriately while she was asleep.
The girl told police she awoke during some of the incidents and that Love would tell her he was “tucking her in for the night,” documents state.
