The NCSO is asking residents of Fairview Estates and Highgate to check any video cameras they may have between 7:45-8:35 p.m. on Tuesday night. The suspects were believed to be on foot and walked through “several backyards,” according to the social media post.

Due to the blurry camera resolution, it is difficult to determine an exact clothing description of the suspects. However, one of the suspects can be seen wearing a hoodie with The North Face brand on the back.
