These days, people who live in the Man area of Logan County
That's because State Police say they're seeing more break-ins
around Man than they normally do.
Troopers say, on average, they've been getting at least one call
per week involving a burglary. And most of the stolen goods turn up at pawn
shops within a few miles.
"It's pretty unusual for that area," Trooper J.E.
Garren said. "We don't really get too many burglaries down that way, but
it's been happening a lot recently."
Danny Ray Williams was arrested Friday night. He's accused of
breaking into two homes just outside of Man.
Troopers say they found him with about $2,000 worth of stolen
property, including a gun.
Williams' own grandmother gave them the information that led to
his arrest.
Troopers say she had been driving Williams and the stolen
property to his apartment. By cooperating with them, she avoided being charged
in the case.
State Police say Williams was a repeat offender who had three
outstanding warrants at the time of his arrest.
They say neighbors should coordinate crime watches in their
communities and look out for each others' homes in times of absence.
Also, they say you should never post plans to leave town - or
proof that you're away - on social media sites like Facebook.
