On April 26, 2022, just before 4:00 a.m., Janesville police officers were alerted by a homeowner that their house was being burglarized in the 1300 block of Elida St. The homeowner, who was not home, was able to view this on their video cameras. Arriving officers encountered three suspects fleeing out a back door and a vehicle, that was in the driveway, fled the scene. The three suspects on foot were captured by officers.
