The sheriff's office is correct, actually. People assume that burglary means something was stolen, but that is not necessarily an element of burglary:

>Burglary, also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking, is the act of entering a building or other areas without permission, with the intention of committing a criminal offence. Usually that offence is theft, robbery or murder, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary.

To commit burglary is to burgle, a term back-formed from the word burglar, or to burglarize.
