Dallas police are searching for a group of young
men who terrorized a Northwest Dallas
neighborhood early this morning, kicking in
doors and breaking glass at homes.
Northwest Dallas homes targeted in early morning

for at least two burglaries and four attempted

around 4:30 a.m., in the neighborhood near
Forest and Marsh lanes. No injuries were
reported and no property was taken in those
cases.
In one incident in the 3900 block of Clear Cove
Lane, intruders kicked in the back glass door

yelled at them, according to a police. The
intruders yelled some obscenities before

damage by kicking in the front door. In one
case, a window was damaged. Police said they
were investigating whether there may be more
