August 30th Early Morning Law Enforcement & Fire/Medical wrap up

Lawrence Police reported making two arrests just after midnight following the attempted robbery of two people in a parking lot at The Reserve apartment complex, in the 2500 block of W 31st Street. Police caught up with the alleged suspects, both of Topeka, near downtown Lawrence. Both men face charges of Aggravated Robbery. One of the men also faces an Aggravated Assault charge, after he pistol whipped one of the victims. More on this story can be found here from the Lawrence Journal-World.

Police received a report of an aggravated burglary in progress at an address in the 1500 block of 27th Street. The caller reported they believed that someone had made entry into the house through a window. After speaking further with dispatchers, the caller determined that the alleged intruder was a family member. Most officers attached to the call, returned to service once they learned it was a family member. The call was downgraded to a trespassing and no arrests were reported.

Also this morning, Eudora Police were investigating several self storage unit burglaries in the 500 block of E 15th Street. There was not an exact number of units given over the radio. However, the officer was out at that scene for nearly an hour.
