TAYLORVILLE, Ill. (WCIA) — Crime Stoppers of Christian County are turning to the public for information on a home burglary that happened in Taylorville last month.

On Feb. 20 at approximately 4:49 p.m., the Christian County Sheriff’s Office received a report of an unknown man inside the residence located at 1978 E 1200 North Road. The victim was watching a live feed of the suspect rummaging through their house.

The suspect is described as a white male, medium build, wearing a black mask, dark clothing and tennis shoes.
