RENO, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) -- Community Outreach Founder, Evelyn Mount, says thieves stole dozens of turkeys and Cornish game hens from her home over the weekend.
The missing poultry was discovered Monday.
News 4 has confirmed with Reno Police Lt. William Rulla that Mount did file a police report Monday, stating several items were taken from one of her freezers in the garage.
Mount tells News 4 there was no sign of a break in and nothing was taken from inside her home. She says it appears the burglary happened when a door was unlocked or the garage was open while she was away at church.
Mount says the incident is discouraging, especially so close to Thanksgiving.
