There was a little damage at the Dolgeville Rod and Gun Club. A window was smashed near the side door and they reached in and unlocked the door. Our cash register was stolen and a couple bottles of liquor. There were a couple bottles of liquor that were knocked off the shelf. Bad enough but could have been much worse.

Please take a moment to study the photos and contact the police if you think you know the identity of the suspect.

Posts on the Dolgeville Rod and Gun Club Facebook page claim there's a connection to the break-in at the Parkside Drive-in.

Stephanie: Someone with no respect for the hard-working family's that we keep afloat, so we have a place to go locally.
Shannon: This guy has the same shoes as the one that broke in Parkside.
