Duluth Police Alert: Increase In Local Burglaries

They seem to be focusing on the East Hillside, but it's a great reminder to us all, to be on the look out for suspicious behavior and to be on our guard for the unexpected. 

This past Saturday, March, 24th, at 2:01AM Duluth Police were called to the 1800 block of East
Seventh Street on the report of an interrupted residential burglary in progress.
Officers arrived and learned that a renter had confronted the suspect who fled from the residence. It is believed that there were possibly two suspects involved in the incident. One of the suspects was described as a Native American or Hispanic male, early 20’s, approximately 5’6”, 150-160 pounds, with collar length hair and glasses.
