HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Someone vandalized a Huntington Area Habitat for Humanity House worksite and took nearly $2,500 worth of tools from a construction trailer, according to information from the agency.

The crime was discovered Friday morning at the construction site in the 500 block of West 6th Street.

“It is unfortunate that from time to time equipment or building supplies will be taken from our worksite,” said David Michael, executive director and CEO of Huntington Area Habitat for Humanity, in a prepared release. “Our mission is to provide families in need an opportunity for safe, decent, and affordable housing. When an instance of theft occurs it not only delays the building process and increases cost but also postpones a family moving into their home.”

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Huntington Area Habitat for Humanity’s office at (304) 523-4822 or the Huntington Police Department.
