Burglary Suspect Entered Homes While Residents Slept, Police Say

Two burglaries that happened within hours of each other have official with the Sturtevant Police Department issuing a warning to residents to keep their windows and doors locked.

On Monday morning an apartment building in the 3100 block of 86th Street and the other in a single-family home in the 3200 block of Kensington Square were burglarized.
