ELGIN - The Illinois secretary of state's office plans to send letters next week to more than 300 motorists whose photos and personal information may have been on a camera cartridge stolen from a facility in Elgin, a spokesman said Friday.

Camera equipment valued at about $200 was reported missing after a break-in Wednesday night at a secretary of state's Department of Motor Vehicles office at 595 S. State St., said Elgin police Sgt. Tamara Welter.

The cartridge contained photographs, names, addresses and license numbers -- but not Social Security numbers -- of people who were issued driver's licenses on Wednesday, Druker said. Social Security numbers are no longer printed on Illinois driver's licenses, Druker said.
