After reports of attempted home invasions in Clarence on Saturday evening, law enforcement received a report of a smashed sliding-glass door on Amy Leigh Lane and discovered that items had been removed from the house.

According to the Erie County Sheriff’s office, reports came in about two individuals allegedly trying to enter homes in the Cimato Estates and Country Walk area. The report from Amy Leigh Lane was made while deputies and New York State Troopers were canvassing the area, the sheriff’s office said, and both law enforcement agencies were on the scene in minutes for a burglary investigation.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information can call 716-858-2903 to report it to the Erie County Sheriff’s Office; reference CL #25-114443.
