Barking dog alerts area residents to burglary; shots fired

From Chandler Police

At approximately 3:10 a.m. July 16, unknown suspects entered a home through an open garage at 5363 W. Dublin Court.

The suspects took the homeowners’ wallet, purse and jewelry. Occupants were alerted to the crime upon wakening after hearing their dog bark.

As the suspects fled the residence, several shots were fired in the direction of the dog. There were no reported injuries.  Suspects fled in an unknown vehicle in an undetermined direction. 

Citizens are reminded to ensure their residences are secure at night by locking all doors, including garage doors and doors leading from garages to the residence, windows, and turning on security lights and systems.

This will help prevent “crimes of opportunity.”
