(Rockwall) September 7, 2012 –  On Thursday, September 6, at approximately 8:45 am, officers with the Rockwall Police Department arrested four people believed to be the suspects in a series of residential burglaries.

Over the past two and a half weeks, multiple reports of weekday burglaries were received from residents of Rockwall.  In each of these cases, forced entry was made by the suspect kicking in the front door.  All of the offenses occurred during morning hours and based on witness information, it was believed the same suspect or set of suspects were responsible for the crimes.
