Two burglars apparently escaped police while one was caught hiding inside the walls of a business.

A business owner in the 100 block of South State Street reported hearing a loud noise from the ceiling or attic area of their business around 5:30 p.m., according to a media release from the Geneseo Police Department.

Officers searched the business and heard a noise but couldn’t find where it came from, officials said, and left the business before 6 p.m.

Around ten minutes later, the owner reported hearing more suspicious noises from a different area of the business. Officers came back…

Presumably many were hiding in the attic, intending to drop into the business area, while one instead fell down a gap between walls, making loud noises and needing rescue.
