ALBANY, Ga. (AP) -- Police in Albany are investigating a burglary at a clothing store that left a gaping hole in the building.

Jenny's Fashions was first hit around 3:00 a.m. Friday. Someone cut the phone lines, trying to silence the alarm, which actually set it off.

They fled before police arrived.

Two hours later, they were back, using a sledge hammer stolen from a neighboring plumbing firm to break in through a concrete wall.

Property owner Chad Warbington says he's taken security measures. But, he says, "There's no protection for busting a wall like that."

Only a few items of clothing were stolen.

But it's the fourth time that shopping center has been robbed in the past year.
