_ 815 Stateline Rd.: On Tuesday police were called to the address in regard to a home burglary. According to a police report, officers spoke with the residence who returned home at 6 p.m. and discovered someone had broken into the house. The suspect broke the door frame and gained access. The report states that the homeowners left at about 3:15 p.m. and locked the deadbolt on the door.
