PEORIA, Ill. (AP) - Peoria Police say more than $100,000 in jewelry has been stolen from a woman's home. The woman arrived home Friday to find the rear window forced in and muddy footprints through several rooms. Police say the intruder allegedly went through the woman's jewelry cabinet and took necklaces, rings and earrings from a drawer. Fake and cheaper jewelry was ignored. Police say footprints show the burglar entered two other bedrooms before leaving out an unlocked back door.
