Berwyn Police Blotter
Brave big brother takes no chances
March 14, 2008, 7:29 AM
A brother and sister preparing to leave for school heard someone at the front door of their apartment in the 6400 block of 27th Place. They asked who was there, but received no answer—just breathing. When their dog began to bark at the unseen person, the big brother, age 11, took charge, leashing the dog and leading it and his 7-year-old sister out the rear door and straight to the police station, where he reported the incident. Police went to the apartment building. There was no evidence of tampering at the front door, and nobody was in the hall. But the kids did not imagine the breathing: it was coming from a neighbor’s apartment, in the form of loud snoring.
