A reported burglary in progress in Syracuse led to the arrests of five locals.
Officers arrived to the 400 block of EMS D15 Lane around 8 a.m. Thursday to discover the incident was not a residential burglary, but was a person trying to recover property.
Deputies determined several people present were wanted on warrants both locally and from other jurisdictions. Drugs and paraphernalia were also found inside the house– including methamphetamine, heroin, needles, smoking devices for narcotics, and scales.
