Avondale Estates police are investigating a residential burglary that occurred Nov. 8 in the 3200 block of Covington Highway.

A police report said the home was entered between 7 a.m. and 1:14 p.m., though the report didn't describe how the burglar got inside.

A laptop computer worth $1,500 was reported stolen.

In another case, a Hampshire Court resident reported that about $1,000 in clothing and other items had been stolen from her house between March 6 and Nov. 16. The resident said that period corresponded to the employment of a housekeeper.
