BENTON, Ill. (AP) — Police in the southern Illinois town of Benton are crediting this week's snowfall with literally helping them track down two teenage burglary suspects.
Investigators say officers responding to a liquor store's burglary alarm early Wednesday found no suspects inside — only two sets of fresh footprints in the ice and snow, leading from the business.
The tracks crossed through yards and around fences and houses for about a mile before eventually leading to 19-year-old Craig Dillard and 18-year-old Alan Alexander.
Both Benton teens remain jailed in Franklin County on charges of burglary and criminal damage to property. Dillard was is accused of resisting a police officer.
