Two men charged with stealing vehicle's CD player

Two men were caught while allegedly burglarizing a vehicle early Sunday outside Absolute Auto Repair, Holland Street, Shelbyville police said.

Matthew Bradley Burdette, 18, Purdy Court, and Michael Scott Shipley, 32, Shelbyville Mills Road, were charged with auto burglary and possession of burglary tools. They are being held on $11,500 bond each at Bedford County Jail.

"You won't find my fingerprints," Shipley allegedly told Officer Tory Moore. "We were just checking the mileage on the car because when I get my license I might want to buy it."

Moore said he and Officer Jose Garza saw one of the men standing near the car. The man allegedly "ducked," didn't immediately comply to a request to come toward officers with his hands visible, and another man quickly exited the vehicle, Moore said.

The car's compact disc player had been removed, an LED light was found in the car and a screwdriver was on the ground nearby, Moore said.

Thefts

A Colt Pony pistol was taken from an Alton Avenue home between Jan. 20 and Saturday, police said.

The owner said he had last seen the gun when he placed it under a mattress after showing it to a relative who was going to take a handgun carry permit class.

* A wallet left within a Walmart shopping cart in the store's parking lot Saturday was recovered with $400 missing, police said.

Store management told police no money had been turned in.

* A chain saw was stolen from the front porch of the home of James Carter, North Main Street, between Jan. 8 and Friday, police said.
