Teen reports theft of TV, Xbox system

WARREN

A 15-year-old female reported two males wearing black hooded sweatshirts entered her house on Maryland Street Northwest at 1:45 p.m. Wednesday and took a television and Xbox game system.

The teenager said she saw a car in the back parking lot and thought it was her mother coming home, so she unlocked the back door.

A short time later, the two males came into the house through the rear door. One pushed her onto the couch and took the game system from the living room.

The other one went to a bedroom and took the television after breaking down the bedroom door.

Police found the bedroom door had been broken.
