While there is no description of a suspect, police did alert the pubic via Twitter just before 8:30 p.m. of a search for a burglary suspect underway in the area of Balfour Drive.

WHPD units are in the area of Balfour Rd searching for a burglary suspect. There is no physical or clothing description available, but we ask that anyone in the area contact WHPD if they see or hear anything suspicious.
