The Cayuga County Sheriff's Office is investigating a burglary after several Cayuga County Health and Human Services computers were vandalized, deputies said.
Detectives believe someone used a key to gain access to the offices at 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 5, at 8 Dill St., Auburn, because there was no sign of forced entry, deputies said.
The suspect then entered the Certified Home Health Agency and the Community Health Services Department, which are located in the building's basement, and began cutting cables that were connected to several other county offices located on nearby floors.
Deputies said no one had reported a missing key.
Deputies said the crime was discovered on Monday morning when employees at the Cayuga County District Attorney's Office, the Office of Veteran's Affairs and the county Health Department, which are located in an adjoining building at 95 Genesee St., discovered that they had no computer services.
Detectives do not believe any confidential medical records were compromised during the incident, deputies said.
Investigators did not have a motive for the vandalism and urge anyone with information to call detectives at 253-1610.
