According to an affidavit of complaint filed by law enforcement, deputies responded to a property at 85 Brandenburge Lane on March 11, 2026, after a homeowner reported suspicious activity on security footage. The victim observed a male suspect entering a utility trailer and attempting to kick in the door to a nearby shop building.
