Police searching for break-in suspects

Marion police are searching for two men who broke into Liberty Fuels gas station Wednesday night just before midnight. 

The would-be burglars left the store abruptly after prying open the front door with a crowbar. They left without taking anything because an alarm went off. Surveillance video caught the men on tape and police have a description of their vehicle, too. It was believed to be a Cadillac. The alarm signaled police who were on the scene within a minute, but missed the getaway.

Officers have been combing the county looking for the car and the two suspects.

More details should be available in next week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press.
