A neighbor told the responding deputy that at about 7:15 a.m. on March 26 he saw a black, two-door Toyota Yaris, with a female at the wheel, parked directly in front of his house. He saw a white male, described as 5 feet 10, about 180 pounds, get out of the car, walk onto the victims’ front porch and pick up a brown package. The suspect then walked back to the Yaris, opened its hatchback and put the package in the car. The Yaris was then moved about four doors southbound on Hill Street.

The witness stepped out into his yard and saw another male, described as about 5 feet 9 and about 160 pounds, standing two doors away from his home. The second suspect got into the vehicle and it was driven further southbound on Hill and then out of view.
