A break-and-enter suspect is still at large after fleeing a police stop in Woolwich Township.
It was on Wednesday morning around 7:15 when police were called to a reported break and enter in that township. Police say a male suspect broke into a residential construction site in the Bur Oak Drive area, stealing property.
An investigation revealed that suspect’s vehicle became stuck in mud when they attempted to leave the scene: the suspect is believed to have approached nearby homeowners looking for assistance, and was eventually pulled out of the mud.
