Officers responded to a biz. alarm at this location. One of the windows on the east side of the biz. had been broken and the screen was cut. Inside the window was a bottle of lighter fluid & a white rag or t-shirt was visible at the top opening of the bottle. A witness told officers he had been watching TV when he heard a loud bang & saw 2 male suspects, 20-25 yrs, running from this location & jumping into a 4-door, silver vehicle, possibly a Lexus. The suspects were possibly scared off by the alarm, as the rag had not been lit. No injuries. Suspects were GOA.
This is a crisis pregnancy center.
