An Aiken man reported Monday that he received an anonymous tip accusing a recent tenant of breaking into a residence and stealing a stove and refrigerator.
The man said he recently evicted the tenant from a house on Hudson Road, according to an incident report provided by the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
The man reported getting an anonymous phone call claiming the tenant had broken back into the house in order to steal a 21-foot refrigerator and a stove, deputies said.
The man went to the residence to see if the claims were true and discovered both the fridge and stove were gone, according to the report.
Deputies reported the window beside the back door had the screen cut out and the window was "wiped off with an unknown object," the report states.
The man said he was called again by a restricted number and was told that the former tenant was trying to sell the kitchen items at a local appliance store, according to the report.
Deputies said they are trying to get into contact with the former tenant.
