Photo Credit: Fox28The LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office says a man got a wake up call he wasn’t expecting this morning.
A man broke into his home wielding a hatchet. Police say there was a fight and the intruder wound up dead. This break-in is concerning for people in the small town.
“Usually nothing like that happens around here, it’s pretty quiet,” said Frank Green, a New Carlisle resident.
People in New Carlisle are still wrapping their heads around a home invasion that happened around 9:15am CT Monday. The LaPorte County Sheriff’s office says a man broke into a house off of the 6000-block of E. 1000 North.
Neighbors say they can’t believe someone would target a home in the wooded area, but the Sheriff says criminals sometimes look for that type of house.
