(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police are investigating a large sum of money taken by forcing open a safe.

According to police, the victim from Fish Lake reported on Wednesday that she discovered the safe in her bedroom was not exactly where she usually keeps it and had been forced open.

She said close to $1,000 in cash was missing but not the medication she also keeps in the metal lock box, according to police.

Police said whoever did it, somehow, ripped a hole in the top of the safe.

There were cameras where the safe was kept but they were disconnected recently to have them repaired but the victim had not sent them out yet to be fixed, according to police.
