Barking dog helps halt burglary
Barking dog helps thward theft
Date published: 11/19/2008

A barking dog helped thwart a theft attempt Tuesday in Stafford County.

Sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy said a resident was upstairs in his home in the 200 block of Scattered Pines Lane in North Stafford when his dog began barking wildly.

The resident went to check on the dog and saw a man staring at him from the kitchen when he got to the bottom of the steps.

The intruder ran out the front door and toward the area of Garrison Woods, Kennedy said.

Nothing was missing, but a DVD player had been pulled out from under a television and was left on the floor.

The suspect was described as a black man, 5 feet 7 inches tall and 150 pounds. He was wearing all black and had a goatee.

The perp was likely just getting a head-start on spreading the wealth using the direct method.
