A resident on Henry Drive called Barrington police on Saturday, Dec. 1, at about 9 p.m. after he realized some bottles of wine had gone missing from his home. The resident told police that he and his wife had left their home at lunchtime and returned at about 8:30 p.m. Upon their return, the residents allegedly noticed that the front door was slightly ajar and 10 bottles of wine were missing from their wine rack. Police are still investigating.
