Damage was discovered on the garage entry door and the interior garage door leading to the home. Police noted that the damage was consistent with that of forced entry, police said.
Officers tracking the suspects, who witnesses stated jumped into the canal, located wet work gloves in the area. One of the gloves had a blood stained tear in the wrist area, according to police.
Falls Township police later stopped a taxi at the Calhoun Street Bridge in Morrisville, identifying the subjects as Sabannoh Yawson, 21, and a 17-year-old juvenile, both of Trenton. The two were suspects in the Lower Makefield robbery.
