A residential burglary was reported in the 3800 block of Domal Lane on Oct. 21 between 5:14 a.m. and 6 a.m. A realtor for the victim’s house was contacted by deputies and he provided the information to authorities while the victim was out of the country at the time. After the victim received an alert on her phone from the security company about her residence, her bother and his wife immediately went to check the house. Upon their arrival, they noticed that the kitchen window that connected to the pool area was smashed. The windows were double-layered windows and the inner kitchen window, made of tempered glass, did not shatter, but sustained minor scratches. After further investigation, the deputies thought it looked like the suspect had thrown a rock at the kitchen window in an attempt to gain entry, but it only broke the outer window glass. The brother and sister called the realtor for help and together, they found the garage door window smashed, as well as wires cut from the driveway gate control box and the call box speaker. The realtor told the deputies that she didn’t know if anything was stolen.
