A psychiatrist’s office was broken into and ransacked on the night of March 31st. The suspect(s) entered by breaking a window in one of the nearby rooms. The alarm system had not been activated when the last person left the office at 6:30 in the evening. The suspect(s) stole money and checks. No fingerprints could be obtained because the office was open when the police arrived in the morning and employees had touched the drawers that the suspect had gone through.

A family returned home around 10 p.m. on March 31st to find the back door of their house open, several items knocked off of the kitchen window sill, and several items missing. The responding officer determined that a burglar may have entered the window by climbing onto a cooler located outside. The burglar(s) went through the wife’s purse and took her wallet, and went through every room upstairs, taking a laptop and cash. No fingerprints were found.

A woman woke up in the middle of the night on April 1st to hear rattling sounds coming from her front door. She got her phone to call 911, but the noises stopped and she went back to sleep, thinking that it may have been the wind. When she woke up the next morning, she found her screen door open. This led her to believe that someone had been attempting to break into her home, although the individual(s) did not succeed.
