Burglars busted into a southeast Lincoln interior design business, chopped through the wall into a camera store and stole more than $42,000 in cameras, camera equipment and cash, police said.
The burglaries at Paul Daniels Interiors and Rockbrook Cameras at 70th Street and Pioneers Boulevard occurred sometime between 5 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday, Lincoln Police Capt. Bob Farber said.

A steel door to Paul Daniels Interiors was pried open first, an undisclosed amount of cash was taken and then the culprits worked their way into the camera store, he said.
There they took at least 27 display cameras and lenses from the store room, Farber said.
Business owners were still taking inventory of the items stolen, and police say the $42,149 in total loss reported remains an estimate and could grow.
