Lubbock Police were dispatched to a home in the 5400 block of 9th Street in reference to a burglary in progress. Neighbors called police at about 5:40 a.m. when they noticed people with flashlights walking in the backyard of the home.

“Officers located property from the home that the suspects dropped as they tried to run from officers,” police said.
