Siler City residents foil home break-in

Maj. Gary Blakenship said that neighbors saw four people breaking into a home at 815 Joe Brown Road around 3 p.m. on Dec. 12. The neighbors called 911 and confronted the suspects, who fled. A witness fired a shot in the air.

Two suspects were taken into custody at the scene, and two surrendered at the Siler City Police Department. All the stolen items were recovered.

Larry Foxx was also charged with possession of stolen property, and Tiffany Foxx faces an additional charge of giving fictious information to law enforcement.

All four suspects are scheduled to appear in court Jan. 3, 2011.

Tiffany Foxx was serving 24 months' probation for a January conviction for shoplifting, according to state Department of Correction records. She also has 2007 convictions for credit card fraud and drug possession.
