Late Sunday night, someone broke the door of a home in the 2100 block of Emerson Street and stole a 47-inch Westinghouse television, a Playstation 3 and video games, police reported.
Police Cmdr. Jason Parrott said the garage burglaries could be related due to the time frame, their close proximity and the property that was taken. He said the third burglary was unlikely to be connected, however.
