Monday night. Open houses have been scheduled at all
schools in the Allen district as part of Texas Public
Schools Week.
!
A rash of burglaries over a
two-week span has hit residents
in the Fountain Park and
Timberbend subdivisions,
according to Allen police.
Police said the suspects, two
white males under 20, enter the
homes during the day through
unlocked windows and doors.
All of the burglaries have
occured during the week, not
on the weekends.
In only one instance has there
been a forced entry, when a
window was broken, police
said. Missing property has
included jewelry, guns and alco-
hol.
