Thiefs on the 5500 block of Tremont

Last month, two vacant properties in the 5500 block of Tremont were broken into and vandalized in the middle of the afternoon. The intruders were trying to steal scrap metal. They broke frames on three doors (including the locked shed). The police caught them as they were attempting to cut the plumbing. Two male suspects in their early 20s were arrested, both thin and of average height: an Anglo with reddish, blond hair and the other a Hispanic or African-American with dark teased hair. Earlier that morning a white pickup truck was spotted in the back of the same property putting something into the truck. The suspect was Hispanic but no arrests have been made.
If you know a house is vacant, please keep a close watch on it. This seems to be a recurring problem in Junius Heights.
