CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. - A locksmith's lock apparently wasn't too tough for a burglar to bust.
A thief broke into the Charles Town Lock & Key store over the weekend and stole keymaking equipment, master keys and a set of key codes with about 50 corresponding business names, Charles Town Police said.
Master key systems are used by businesses to create keys that give personnel access to restricted areas, locksmith Aaron Greenburg said. He said residential locks were not affected.
The burglar has "got to be somebody who knows about locksmithing, because they knew exactly what to take," said owner Marylou Hill.
Store employees are warning affected businesses of heightened security risks.
"They're all going to have to be rekeyed," Greenburg said.
