Corey Street Woman Catches Men Trying to Steal TV

A Corey Street woman woke last week to find two men in her home trying to take her television.

According to a police report, the woman woke to the sound of yelling inside of her apartment around 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25. When she stepped into the living room, she found two men she did not know attempting to free the television from the wall.

The woman yelled, then called 911.

Officers responding to the scene spoke to the woman’s daughter, who they said was visibly upset and knew the men who had come into her home.

She had allowed them into the apartment after they banged on the door, she told police. After they entered, they told her that she owed them. Unable to steal the television, they took a phone that belonged to one of the residents’ friends. The daughter also told police that the pair told her they planned to return with guns.

While officers were on the scene, one of the men called. Officers spoke with the man and asked him to come back and explain what had happened. The caller hung up.

Police have yet to arrest anyone in connection with the incident.
