2nd theft at Annapolis City Hall

Annapolis police said Wednesday that they have not eliminated the possibility that a second theft reported at City Hall might be linked to the theft of more than $150,000 in checks and cash from a vault in the city's Finance Department last week, The Baltimore Sun reports.

Police also have conducted a security survey of the building and expect to recommend improvements — beyond obvious measures such as locking offices and restricting access — to Mayor Joshua J. Cohen by the end of June.

On Tuesday, a digital camera was reported stolen from a desk in a main-floor office across the hall from the finance office, where officials reported to police June 8 that a bank deposit bag containing about $154,000 in checks and cash had vanished.
