Two sought in home break-ins

         The Johnson County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man and woman suspected of burglarizing two Center Grove area homes Wednesday, taking more than $16,000 of jewelry.  The two homes were broken into through the basement windows between noon and 1 p.m. Wednesday, according to a police report.  About $16,600 worth of jewelry, a camcorder and two guns were stolen from a home on the 3800 block of Southwind Terrace in the Southwind subdivision.  A neighbor told an officer she saw a woman standing outside the house at noon motioning to the man to hurry, the report said.  The man came out of the house carrying boxes, the witness told officers.  The suspects drove an avocado green-colored two-door car, according to a news release.

         Burglars left a 3-inch blade boot knife with a wooden handle after breaking through the basement window at a home on the 1800 block of Lanarkshire Drive in Highland Park subdivision.  Nothing was missing from the Highland Park home, the report said.  The home's alarm system sounded, and sheriff's deputies responded to the alarm at 12:53 p.m., the report said.

         Anyone with information about the burglars or the owner of the dropped knife should call detective Bryan Wolfe at 736-2272 or e-mail tips to crimetips@JohnsonCountySheriff.com.  (Reprinted with permission from the Daily Journal)
