*The second squad recently reported the details of an attempted burglary that occurred on Monday, Oct. 17 at 7:45 p.m.

According to detectives, two male subjects attempted to gain entry to a home on Ann Court through a rear sliding door but fled after the home's burglar alarm went off. They were last seen by the homeowner fleeing in a four-door white Lincoln Town Car driven by a third subject. None of the subjects could be described and the direction of travel was not known.

After an investigation by the Robbery and Second Squad, it was determined that this incident did not fit the recent pattern of home invasions that have occurred in the county.

Detectives ask anyone with information regarding this crime to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
