A city-owned laptop was reported missing Thursday afternoon from Central Fire Station.
An HP Pavilion laptop, valued at $1,150, was reported missing at 11:30 a.m. from an office inside the station, 1630 Walnut St., said Lt. Bobby Stewart of the Vicksburg Police Department.
The laptop was used by three battalion chiefs, a worker at the station said this morning. Stewart said he did not know if any sensitive information was stored in the laptop.
Separately, an auto burglary was reported at 7:41 a.m. Thursday in the 300 block of Enchanted Drive. A Pioneer Exploder Speaker set valued at $450, a Pioneer amplifier valued at $500 and a Sony AM/FM CD player valued at $250 were stolen from a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
A residential burglary was reported at 12:20 p.m. Thursday in the 300 block of Bazinsky Road where $20 was stolen, said Stewart.

Mary Ann Buck, 53, 20 Water Well Road, was arrested at 10:26 a.m. at her home for possession of a controlled substance and sale of a controlled substance, said Lt. Bobby Stewart.
Her arrest was the result of an undercover investigation by the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and Vicksburg police, Stewart said.
She was released on $10,000 bond.
