Allegan County Sheriff’s deputies apprehended a man and a woman Sunday evening in connection with an attempted breaking and entering of a Monterey Township home with many guns inside.
Authorities said they arrived at a breaking and entering in progress at a home on 28th Street north of 134th Avenue in Monterey Township. Deputies reported they found a female hiding in a suspect’s vehicle in the garage. Another suspect was observed inside the residence.
The homeowner was not on scene, but surveillance/alarm system alerted the call. The homeowner said he has numerous firearms in the residence.
Verbal commands were given for the subjects to exit the residence, but at first they did not comply. Allegan County SWAT was called to the scene. After giving more verbal commands a male subject came out the home. A thorough search of the residence found nobody else inside.
Both suspects were brought to the Allegan County Sheriff’s office for interviews and lodged for home invasion.
Deputies were assisted by Michigan State Police, Gun Lake Tribal Police and Wayland EMS.
If anybody has any information about home invasion or similar incidents in the area please call the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office at 269-67-0500 or silent observer at 1-800-554-3633.
