Teen Returning From School Finds Burglar Inside Home
A South Lawrence teen returning home from school Wednesday discovered that a burglar was inside.
A resident of Iron City Road reported the matter to Lawrence County Sheriff’s deputies around noon. The girl told deputies she knew something was not right when she pulled into the driveway and found that the family dog was outside.
She said that she exited her car and looked inside the house. She found a man wearing a long-sleeve, orange shirt and black baseball cap standing in the living room.
The teen reported that she quickly went to her neighbors’ house and told them about the intrusion. They returned to the home with her and checked inside, but report that the man had already fled.
The resident reported no damages were incurred and that nothing appeared to be missing.
