UPDATE:  Doctor’s office break-in

 

Whoever broke into a vision care clinic earlier this week was apparently looking for just one thing.

Around 11 p.m. Monday night Jonesboro police were called to Invision Eye Care, 2704 Alexander Dr.

According to Officer Joe Robinson’s initial police report, a large rock was used to break out the glass front door to gain entry.

“Several file folders had obviously been removed from the files by the suspects,” Robinson reported.

Dr. Stacey Raines tells Region 8 News only one customer file was removed. 

She said the patient has been notified.
