Clayton County Police responded to a burglary in progress today on Thornwood Court in Jonesboro. Two burglars were attempting to break into a residence while the resident was home and the resident dialed 911.
Both suspects fled on foot upon the arrival of police officers. A call for a K-9 to assist went out, and Deputy Kearns along with his new K-9 “Tir” arrived picking up a scent to begin tracking.
