Attempted Break-In

In another break-in call from last week, the thief did not get inside the house.  Again, the Wilkes Sheriff's Dept was dispatched to an attempted B&E at a home on Mtn View Rd. It appears the suspect or suspects tried twice to enter the home through the front door. On one made entry into the home, but there were two pry marks on the left side of the door frame that appeared to have been made with a screwdriver.  Door frame damages were estimated at $50.  It is believed that the suspect left on foot walking toward 18N and possibly got into a vehicle and drove away.  That investigation is continuing.
