Thefts
*Three black men reportedly broke into a display case in the sports department at the Wal-Mart at 1002 N. Spence Ave. on Tuesday. The report said one of the men went behind the counter and broke the lock to the display case to remove several items, including global positioning systems (GPS) and fish finders. All were valued at $1,667. The three men then removed the items from their boxes and hid the boxes. Some of the boxes were found on the premises, the Goldsboro Police report said.

*Somebody pried open the rear door to the Blood Bought Church at 403 N. George Street and took the sound system, valued at $640. Damage to the door was $50.
