A 19-year-old man in Central Oklahoma wanted on suspicion of rape and multiple burglaries was arrested after being caught in the act of reportedly trying to break into another residence.

According to reports, in September 2024, the police received notification about a possible home invasion that happened in a residential neighborhood in the city of Norman. A burglary in the same area was reported in December, and in January, the authorities were contacted by several additional individuals with similar stories. It was noted that all of the homes that were targeted were within a two-mile radius, the suspect waited until late at night to enter the dwellings, and several of the residents were at home and in their bedrooms when the individual broke in. None of the callers reported injuries until a woman notified the police to tell them that a stranger entered her residence and raped her. She said she woke up with an individual on top of her who fled from her home when she looked him in the eye.

In an ironic twist, the authorities caught three alleged fuel thieves in Central Washington after their truck, which reportedly had multiple stolen items, ran out of gas.

George, Washington (intentionally named after the former President), is an unincorporated town in Grant County. Its 1.3 square miles are home to just over 800 people. On the morning of January 30, multiple items went missing from a local farm, and the authorities were notified about the purported theft. They learned that someone nearby saw a pickup truck drive by that looked like it came from the farm, and they wrote down the license plate number before it was out of sight.

Deputies from the Grant County Sheriff’s Office collected the information, and they were later informed that the farm was missing 100 gallons of diesel gasoline and several car batteries. They began searching the surrounding area for a vehicle matching the description of the pickup truck. Around 7:15 AM, about 2 miles from the farm, three people in a truck stopped in a residential driveway when the vehicle ran out of gas. They asked for help from the man at the home, and he quickly recognized the truck had the same license plate number and appearance as the one seen near the farm.
