Cousins suspected in garage burglary
March 13, 2007, 11:19 PM
A call about a burglary in the 1900 block of Harvey led police to the open rear door of an apartment building; the door to one of the flats was slightly ajar. The resident arrived and said nothing was missing. The offender(s) forced their way in through a bathroom window, 13 feet above the ground, by ripping away the screen and removing the glass panes. The panes were wet, so no fingerprints. The resident, a 30-year-old woman, said her garage had also been broken into. The garage window was pushed in and the passenger window of her Tercel was broken out, the front fender and hood damaged, and the garage door opener broken. She said two speakers and an amp worth $650 were gone. She suspects her 19 and 22-year-old male cousins.
