Sparta Burglaries from Balls&Backbone

Sparta police say they need the public’s help finding three men who broke into a woman’s home late Wednesday before fleeing in a stolen truck. A mobile home owner on K Street said she was in bed when she saw a light coming down a hallway about 11:10 p.m. She yelled, and the suspects ran from the home. Minutes later, police got a report of a truck stolen from Martin Warehous-ing, 716 S. Black River St. The truck’s owner followed it in another car before three men in their late teens abandoned it on Maple Avenue. Police could not find the men after searching the area with dogs. Investigators believe the break-in and stolen truck are related.
Police also are investigating two burglaries on the 1900 block of Julie Avenue. In those cases, the suspects broke into the houses on Tuesday through an unlocked window after removing or cutting a screen, police said. Cash and a house key were stolen during the break-ins.My personal opinion is this is happening because there is such a major drug problem in this area. Quick money for a quick fix.

  1. Reading Monday's paper and the article about John Sund now deciding to respond to the questions of the reappointment of Gary Ascher...wow, he had to write a letter to the paper to respond after declining to answer direct questions from the paper. Reason why I believe is he had to go to Ken Witt for an answer because Sund is clueless how to answer most questions and looks to Witt for the answers. If you don't believe me, attend a city council meeting and watch Sund as he will always look to Witt to answer things. Sund is a joke.
