On April 08, 2016, Inv. Justin Crane was dispatched to 126 Hempstead 108 in reference to a residential burglary that had already occurred.

 

 Upon arrival he met with Evelyn Hollis, the realtor that the house is listed with.  Evelyn stated that she came to show the property to someone and noticed upon entry that a bedroom in the house had been ransacked.  Evelyn stated that a storm window had been broken out in the rear of the house.

 

During his investigation Inv. Crane was able to lift two finger prints from a window the fingerprints were also photographed by Investigator Gary Dorman prior to lifting. After dusting for fingerprints investigators observed what appeared to be human hair on top of the bed. I then photographed the hair and collected it as evidence. Inv. Dorman also located foot prints on the shop door behind the residence where it appeared that someone attempted to enter the shop by kicking the door.
