Police are investigating a home break-in earlier this month in the Sylvan Park neighborhood, where a thief reportedly smashed their way into the home and stole money and other personal belongings.
Officers were told that someone entered the home on the 500 block of Sullivan Drive sometime between Sept. 4 and Sept. 7, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson. The homeowners were gone at the time, and found the home had been ransacked.
Money, personal identification information and memorabilia were taken, Nelson said. No suspect information is available, she said.
Residents at the home say that they have video and audio recordings of the break-in, which occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6, but that police detectives had yet to review the home surveillance 11 days after the incident.
Surveillance can at least help catch bad guys. Maybe there is a huge backlog of burglary tapes to review. 2016 perhaps? Most burglars will skip houses with posted security. And most security is hooked up to computers and can be accessed online. Too bad they were not caught in the act. If the homeowners had called the police on September 4 or whenever the burglars were in the house, officers could have gotten there – by now!
