Johnston Police question suspect after six burglaries in three days web posted June 3, 2009 JOHNSTON – Johnston Police are working six burglaries that have taken place over the past three days but have a suspect they were interviewing shortly after the last burglary on Hill Drive Tuesday morning. Johnston Police Chief Chris Aston said Tuesday as he arrived at the Police Department that a tip led them to a 15-year-old suspect. “We got a tip and we were able to identify some of the stolen property,” Chief Aston said. He would not elaborate other than to say that there is a possibility that the teen may be tied to some of the recent burglaries in the area. “We won’t know until we talk to him,” Aston said. The Hill Drive burglary was reported Tuesday with a witness giving a description of a suspect leaving the area around the home. That led police to the suspect’s home where it is believed that at least one item stolen in the Hill Drive burglar was recovered. Chief Aston said it is his belief by what is being discovered that the teen could be involved in at least two other burglaries that have taken place in recent days. Other burglaries included a home on Chinaberry Circle that found over $500 in jewelry taken on Monday, along with that of a home of the 300 block of Brady Lane where a jewelry box was targeted but the burglar left without taking anything leaving only $300 in damages from breaking into the home. On Sunday a home on the 700 block of Edisto Street was found to have a door kicked in early Sunday afternoon but the owner could find nothing missing. Damage to the door was estimated at $500. On Saturday homeowners arrive to find the back door to their Heritage Trace home “kicked in” but nothing missing on an initial inventory of the home. Earlier a home on Cottonwood Lane was hit by burglars with over $1,000 in jewelry taken after someone broke a glass door to gain entry into the home. © Copyright 2009
