The victim said there was approximately $500 in change in each of the four piggy banks, change he had been saving for years and included many silver dollars.
He said he was visiting a friend in Hamilton from July 12 to 14. The coins were the only items missing in the burglary, he said.
He named a suspect for police saying this other person was one of only a few people who knew of the coins and had recently been kicked out of the house following a drug raid there. He said he had had enough of the uncharged suspect’s problems and he had not seen her since sometime in June.
He said a friend had seen the uncharged suspect go into the Oxford Spirits liquor store several times over the weekend and buy liquor with large amounts of change.
Investigation is continuing.
