Law enforcement apprehends suspects in attempted mid-day burglary

MURRAY – At 3:41 p.m., the Murray Police Department posted on its Facebook page that it had “responded to a report of a possible burglary in progress in the area of Coldwater Road.” The post further noted that multiple suspects were in custody, and there was no threat to the public.

According to scanner traffic, an off-duty officer reported seeing a vehicle pull up to an apartment on Coldwater Road, and three individuals kicked in the door and entered the property. A handgun was found with a bullet in the chamber but no magazine, although it was not clear where the firearm was located or if the magazine was found.

Scanner traffic also indicates that the suspects fled the scene. There were reports of a suspect being spotted on Brooklyn Drive. A drone was used to surveil a nearby apartment complex. Officers also found latex gloves, presumably used by a suspect to conceal their fingerprints, in the backyard of a home on North 18th Street.
