AVALON – An Avalon home was victim to a brazen burglary and theft Jan. 30, while the residents were present.
Police asked for help in identifying two individuals in hoodies and masks who were caught on a security camera entering the home twice, as well as a vehicle in the home’s driveway, and taking items from both the home and vehicle.
The Herald checked back with Avalon police to get an update on the investigation. Police Chief Jeffrey Christopher said, “Our detectives continue to investigate the case and will not stop until those responsible are brought to justice.” 
Christopher added that there were no significant updates for public release at this time. 
The burglary was made easier due to the fact that the door to the residence was unlocked. Avalon police used the incident to demonstrate the importance of locking residences, even when home. Vehicle theft is also often a crime of opportunity aided by a failure to lock the vehicle.
