Meeting halfway

Burglary in progress

• A resident in the 16W200 block of 94th Street told police that a group of mask-wearing 18-year-olds were trying to break into her car in her driveway about 10 p.m. May 30. They then yelled at her and ran toward Route 83. While searching the area, an officer saw four people run north on Jackson Street before trying to cross to the west side of Route 83. The officer activated his emergency lights and stopped a 12-year-old boy while others ran south through the parking lot of Matty's Family Restaurant.

Lock cut off
