When they got to the home, officers found the lock on the back door had been damaged and there were pry marks.

Police tried contacting the homeowner by phone but couldn't reach them. The officers then told everyone inside the home to come out.

Three people including one woman exited and surrendered to police. Investigators found a hammer in the home.

Each suspect was charged with burglary, possession of burglary tools, obstruction of justice, and hindering.
