Arrest Made In Home Break In

Arrest made in a home break in yesterday.

Yesterday the department received a call from a Chestnut Place resident. The resident claimed a subject had just broken into their home. The resident sated they heard noises coming from inside the home. They stepped into their hall way and encountered a male subject. The subject fled, taking a laptop. A description was given out and the subject was stopped on Chestnut Street still carrying the laptop he had stolen from the house.  As the investigation progressed it was found the subject had tried to break into another home on Chestnut Place. The subject was arrested and charged with one count of Breaking and Entering and one count of Attempted Breaking and Entering.

Yesterday another break in was reported on Elm Street. The residents reported they returned home at 5:30PM they found their home broken into and two laptops had been taken.

Last week on November 27, we had a reported attempted break in on Roberts Street. It appears the residents were home at that time. No entry was gained but an obvious attempt at the door lock.

Last week on November 27 we had a reported break in on St. Paul Street. The resident came home to find their residence had been broken into and a laptop had been taken.

At this time we cannot clear all these prior cases with the arrest of yesterday’s subject. These cases are still under investigation. We ask people be observant of anything suspicious and call us. Try to keep laptops and other valuables out of sight from public view.
