Two suspects have been identified and formally charged with the car theft attempt that happened on the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 14. A homeowner on Cottage Lane was warming his truck when he discovered a male suspect sitting in the driver’s seat. As the suspect fled on foot he fired a handgun at the homeowner, who returned fire. Neither was injured.
