Residents of a Troy home awoke early Monday morning to find that their home had been burglarized while they slept.

Police responded to the home in the 100 block of Anna Street after the residents reported finding items stolen from within the home.

“Forced entry was made into the residence and several items were taken from the residence as well as from cars in the driveway,” Barr said. “During a canvass of the neighborhood, police located and recovered several of the stolen items in a wooded area.”

Barr said the majority of burglaries are not committed when a house is occupied.

“It’s not often that you have an occupied residence burglarized,” Barr said. “That’s a very dangerous situation.”

There were no injuries as a result of the crime.

The suspect or suspects in the case would face a charge of second-degree burglary and could also face charges of unlawful breaking and entering of a motor vehicle.

Second-degree burglary is a Class B Felony punishable by up to 20 years of prison and breaking and entering a motor vehicle is a Class C Felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The Troy Police Department asks anyone with any information about this crime to contact the Troy Police Department at 334-566-0500 or call the secret witness line at 334-566-5555.

“This is a very active and ongoing investigation,” Barr said.

More information will be released as the case develops.
