Scottsboro police are investigating an attempted break-in at a local business in the 2,900 block of Veterans Drive early Thursday morning.
According to Lt. Erik Dohring, the suspect or suspects cut wires in the back of business in what appeared to be an attempt to deactivate the alarm system.
“They also got into the box on a power pole near the business,” said Dohring. They did a lot of damage there, and are lucky to even be alive.”
Dohring said the suspects never got into the store.
“It appears it happened around 3 a.m.,” said Dohring. “If anyone has any information regarding this crime, please notify us.”
Dohring said a similar incident occurred around midnight Thursday at a business at Powell Crossroads in DeKalb County. He said the suspects were able to get inside that store and took several items. Dohring said authorities believe the two incidents are tied together.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Scottsboro Police Department at 256-574-4468.
