Last night, an SGPD officer was driving by a local business when he noticed a front entrance window was broken. Several officers arrived and cleared the building but did not locate any suspects. Video footage showed two suspects attempt to pry open the door before throwing a rock through the window. It appeared as if they were testing the alarm system.
A few hours later, the patrol sergeant drove by the business, and observed a vehicle that matched the suspects near the business with the two males inside. Officers were able to link both subjects to this attempted burglary along with some burglary tools. During the investigation, officers ultimately tracked the suspects to a hotel and wrote a warrant for their room which yielded additional evidence and drugs.
