A woman called police on the morning of May 19th to report that two men had tried to enter her home. They used a key from the victim’s purse, which had been stolen two weeks ago. The suspects fled the scene before police arrived and they were not found in the area. The victim told police that she had heard loud banging at her door and then the suspects put the key in the lock. She then opened the door and the suspects ran off, leaving the key behind.

The victim said that on May 6th she was in the University district with a group of friends when a group of young black males approached the group and stole her purse. She told police that she never reported the incident because she was scared and she had been drinking underage when the purse was stolen. The victim told police that the burglary suspects were two of the men who had stolen her purse. She believed that they had found her address by looking at the driver’s license in her purse.
