Jim Barnes said. “Both of the actual break-ins and the attempted break-in were all concentrated near the entrance area of the neighborhood on the 200 block of Augusta Drive.”No one has been hurt in any of the instances, but there has been some property taken from one of the homes, Barnes said.“It appears the guy is looking for jewelry or money in these residences,” he said. “We haven’t had anything recently like this in Elkins Lake. We think, based on the proximity of the break-ins and the method of operation used, that the events are related and are the work of one individual.
