Two people called police to report that their home had been burglarized between 11:10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on March 22nd. The suspect entered the residence through a sliding basement window.

One of the victims found the back door open when he returned, indicating that the suspect left through this door. Fingerprints were found on the basement window.

The victims later reported that someone had logged onto facebook and played a game using one of the stolen computers. The victims had synced some of their computers and so were able to track the stolen one. They found the suspect’s email and facebook username.

A man called police on the afternoon of March 22nd to report that he had been the victim of an attempted robbery. The victim said the two suspects blocked his path and demanded his wallet. One of them threatened to use a gun if the victim did not comply. The victim did not believe that the suspects had a gun, so he did not give them his wallet and tried to walk away. The suspects attempted to take the victim’s wallet but were unsuccessful, and they left the scene. The victim was not injured and nothing was stolen. He told police that he had just withdrawn money from an ATM in a nearby store. Police checked the surveillance video, which showed the victim but not the suspects.
