In a media release on Friday, Sept. 27, the Woodstock police said officers responded at approximately 4 p.m. to reports of suspicious individuals in the yard of a residence in the Elizabeth Street area.
“Upon arrival, officers quickly determined that a break and enter had occurred at a nearby residence, and it was believed the same individuals were involved,” the release explained.
Officers located and arrested one male suspect as he exited the residence. However, three other individuals refused to come out.

Police said the 37-year-old and 28-year-old men were held in custody, while the 27-year-old woman and 35-year-old man were released with conditions and scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
