Troopers said unknown criminals entered the property of the Ontelaunee Rod & Gun Club, located at 8100 Gun Club Rd., in Lynn Township, and forcibly entered a small aluminum shed by breaking down a wooden door and breaking a set of deadblot locks. Inside the shed was a generator used to produce power for two water pumps that were placed in the center of a pond on the property.

The pump is valued at $1,000 with damages to the shed estimated at $250. The incident occurred sometime between 4 p.m. on July 13 and 6:45 a.m. on July 14.
