Neighbors Spy Burglars Leaving Crime Scene
Neighbors summoned police officers to a Fifth Street home Sunday after catching sight of individuals who had apparently been in the process of burglarizing the property.
Lawrenceburg Police Officers responded to the 3:39 p.m. burglary-in-progress call to 509 Fifth Street. A neighbor reported he heard a noise in the alley that runs between Fourth and Fifth Streets, alerting him to the crime.
He told officers he went to investigate. When he walked around a shed, he said he saw individuals in a dark blue SUV parked there. Once they noticed him, he said they quickly drove away.
Officers report that the culprits used a shovel to open a rear window on the shed. Glass was also broken out of the rear door to the house.
The owner reported that at the time of the burglary the home was being used for storage only. He said that he was uncertain whether anything was missing, but would continue to look over his property.
