Related: Police make arrests.

Police were notified of an incident on Thurmond Street around 1:00 Wednesday morning. Authorities arrived at 1020 South Thurmond to find what appeared to be evidence of a burglary. Police Detective Sergeant Tom Henry tells us what they know.

Representatives from the state crime lab in Cheyenne are on their way to examine the evidence at the scene. The area will be sealed for some time and drivers are encouraged to find alternate routes around Thurmond between Colorado and Montana Streets.

Police Chief Mike Card says the department has asked the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation to assist in the case. Nearly an entire shift of Sheridan Police officers who are not on shift have also been called in to help with the investigation.

No arrests have been made at this time.

Well said joe, Home invasion is an intolerable crime. It's really too bad that they weren't all killed in the attempt, saving the state of wyoming the huge costs of a trial.

Old enough for the death
