Back To Front Page

Chesterton Police are investigating the attempted burglary on Tuesday of a residence in the 1600 block of Snead Ave. in the Estates of Sand Creek.

According to police, at 12:24 p.m. officers were dispatched to the home in response to an activated residential alarm. On their arrival, officers found two distinct sets of shoe impressions in the snow which “went towards the direction of all the doors and windows.”

On the east side of the residence, facing Sand Creek Golf Course, the screen door on the exterior of each of several sliding glass doors was found open, police said.

Then, on the far southeast of the residence, a sliding glass door was found ajar, by four to six inches, police said. The suspect, however, had been unable to open it any further, as a rod had been placed in the interior door track, and no entry of the residence was made.

The door’s locking mechanism had been forced, police said.

The homeowner subsequently advised police that she’d left her home only 20 minutes before the alarm was activated.

Surveillance tapes shot by cameras at the subdivision’s gated entrance were to be made available to investigators, police said.
