Between the hours of 10:30am and 1:30pm, unknown suspects attempted to enter a residence in 
the 00 block of West Carter Avenue by removing a window screen. The suspect used a pry tool to

of attempted entry at the other doors and windows. 

Overnight, unknown suspects stole a 2002 Honda Accord from a driveway in the 1900 block of
