The Lemoore Police Department was kept busy early Saturday morning (Nov. 2). At approximately 4:18 a.m. officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle possibly “casing” a local neighborhood. Officers were told that one suspect was driving, and a second suspect was checking cars, perhaps to see if they were unlocked.

The suspects’ vehicle was described as a white Nissan Altima. When officers arrived on the scene in less than a minute, they located a vehicle matching the description, stopped it, and detained two male suspects. 

At about the same time, officers responded to a burglar alarm at the Lemoore Golf Course. When they arrived, officers discovered a break-in and found the clubhouse burglarized.

During their investigation officers learned that the burglar alarm had been delayed. The two males detained by the police – in the white Nissan Altima – are suspects in a residential burglary on Leisure Dr. and the Lemoore Golf Course burglary.

Police retrieved burglary tools, narcotics, weapons, and drug paraphernalia from the vehicle.
