In the incident early Monday morning, police were notified that two black males wearing ski masks and all black were inside the garage trying to steal a car.

It was found that six vehicles were struck by the pair trying to get away in the Honda.
The owner of the Honda had reported the prior day that the car keys and Airpods in a pink case had been taken from the vehicle.
Police said each of the suspects had a pistol located near where they were found. Lewis had a handgun with a round in the chamber. McCullough had a Smith and Wesson with no round in the chamber.
