Police responded to a call April 9 about a possible burglary. It was reported a white SUV with a black male driver and a white female passenger was slowly driving through the neighborhood looking at open garages, according to the arrest report. A witness showed police the videotape of one suspect going into an open garage.

Police found the vehicle in Sundowner Estates subdivision and found possible stolen items in the back seat of the vehicle, a cable grinder and circular saw. Police also found drug paraphernalia in the vehicle and a plastic container containing a white substance field tested for methamphetamine, the police report stated.

The suspects were taken to Washington County Detention Center for booking. Hill was released on bond the next day. As of Monday, Danaby was still in the jail with a $1,500 bond.

Police also are investigating other incidents Sundowner Estates on Saturday, according to Capt. Jeff O’Brien. Another resident noticed items missing from an open garage. The window of a vehicle was busted but nothing was missing from the vehicle. In the third incident, an Amazon package was stolen from the front porch. Police don’t have any suspects for those incidents, O’Brien said.

He advised residents to take precautions, lock car doors, close garages and not to leave any valuables in vehicles parked outside.

“During this time when things are getting a little tougher, don’t leave anything out that will be enticing to a criminal,” O’Brien said. “Don’t make it easier for them.”
