Burglars Take Cash, Drugs Leave Gun Untouched, Police Say

Nothing was touched on the home's first floor.

A Langhorne man reported to Lower Southampton Police on Saturday that the home he shares with this parents had been burglarized—and that prescription medication and cash had been taken—sometime between 3:30 p.m. and shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday.
The man told police that he left the house to meet his parents around 3:30 p.m. and returned for a few minutes around 5:15 p.m. before heading out again, the report said. 
The victim said he stayed on the home's first floor during his stopover at home and didn't notice anything amiss, the report said.
But when he returned home for good just after 7 p.m., he found the front door unlocked though it's usually locked, it said. 
The drawers and closet doors in the victim's room were open but nothing was taken, police said, but the parents' room was "ransacked."
The father told police later that $5,500 and a bottle of Valium were taken from a possibly unlocked safe, the report said, but a gun, also kept in the safe, was not taken.
