Store's money is safe after late-night burglary attempt

An unsuccessful attempt was made to enter the office area at Save-A-Lot, South Cannon Boulevard, early Wednesday, Shelbyville police said.

Officers, alerted by a burglary alarm, discovered outside and inside doors had been forced and the alarm keypad pulled from a wall and destroyed.

No signs of an attempt to enter the store's safe were found and all money inside was intact, police were told.

A metal gate was opened to gain access to the building, police said.
