A shotgun and ammunition were reported stolen from a home in the 700 block of Leona Lane on Oct. 26, police said.

A 52-year-old woman that lives in the house called police to report the crime, which occurred sometime between 8:45 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. while no one was home, according to Mountain View Police Department spokesman, Sgt. Sean Thompson.

The woman told police she returned home and found her kitchen "ransacked" and an empty gun case on the floor, Thompson said.

It is unclear how the burglar, or burglars, got into the house, the sergeant said. There were no witnesses.
