A manager working at that Casey's location Monday afternoon, however, did confirm a burglary was attempted at the gas station/convenience store overnight but added (fortunately) nothing had been taken from the establishment. The would-be burglar did break the store's glass front door, though.

Despite that attempt, the Casey's General Store located on Fosterburg Road is open for business Monday, and the manager added the front door is currently in the process of being repaired at this time.
