Police in Red Oak are investigating a break-in at a residential garage. At around 4:20-p-m. Monday, a resident on Eastern Avenue reported to police that a person or persons unknown had forced their way into the victims’ garage and tampered with items inside the structure. Some items taken from the garage were located outside. Police believe whomever broke into the garage placed the items outside when they were “spooked-off” by an unsuspecting citizen. The property where the incident occurred is located near a walking trail.

Anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area is asked to contact Red Oak Police at 712-623-6500.
