Do we know if the alarm deterred them from entering? We just installed a home security system so I’m curious as to how well they prevent burglaries like the one in Silent Creek.
That’s what some of the neighbors made it sound like, the police didn’t elaborate on all the details yet.
Must be druggies. Who else would try to break into a house with an alarm?
Good Idea to get an alarm… you get a 10% discount on your homeowners insurance as well.
I just passed a bunch of police surrounding a uhaul truck on swensen in deer park. Maybe they caught these jokers.
