Police Hunt For Burglary Suspects In Andover

ANDOVER, MA -- Police are asking for the public's help in identifying suspects in a burglary on on Andover Country Club Lane around 10:30 pm. Andover Police said the owners of the home were away but were able to report the burglary as it was happening to police after seeing two men break into their home through video surveillance.

The men fled when Andover Police arrived and could not be located after a search that included canine units from the Andover Police Department and Essex County Sheriff’s Department, as well as the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing and Massachusetts State Police units.

Both suspects were wearing what appeared to be gray hooded sweatshirts, and they caused significant damage to the home when breaking in, including dismantling the alarm system.

"If anyone recognizes the suspect, or saw anything suspicious on Andover Country Club Lane late last night, we ask that you immediately contact Andover Police," Chief Patrick Keefe said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Andover Police at 978-475-0411. Anonymous tips can be made by calling 978-470-3864.
