Attempted Burglary

A Barn Hill Road man told police Saturday that a screen door on the ground level of his house had been cut, but that entry had not been made.

The house is not occupied because the owner is in the process of moving, police said, adding the resident believes area youths tried to break in and use the house as a place to hangout.
