A Silver Summit woman who returned to her home on Saturday called the Summit County Sheriff’s Office after witnessing an attempted burglary.
The woman pulled into her garage on Old Ranch Road and sat in her vehicle long enough for a motion-activated light to turn off, according to a report from the Sheriff’s Office. While she was still inside the car, an unknown male suspect – believed to be around 16 years old – entered the woman’s garage.
The woman watched the suspect walk through her garage with a flashlight and take an e-bike. However, he became aware of her presence and dropped the e-bike by the road. The suspect then fled in a dark colored truck or SUV, according to the report.
Deputies and other law enforcement circled the area in search of the suspect, but did not locate him. They were unable to obtain video surveillance or latent prints.
The Sheriff’s Office responded to a few other calls between Monday, April 10 and Sunday, April 16 including reports of a stuck vehicle, mail theft and drugs.
