Easton Woman Nabbed for Burglary at Family Reunion Campsite
An Easton woman found herself on the wrong side of the law this week after an unexpected and unwelcome visit to a family reunion campsite near Lavender Lake. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, resulted in the woman's arrest on charges of burglary.
According to authorities, the situation unfolded when members of a family arrived at their pre-arranged campsite near the popular Lavender Lake, only to discover an unfamiliar individual asleep inside one of their tents. The tent, already pitched and prepared for the family's arrival, had clearly been occupied without permission.
Stunned by the discovery, the family members promptly contacted local law enforcement. Upon arrival, police officers found the woman still asleep inside the tent. After waking her and conducting a brief investigation, they determined that she had no connection to the family and had entered the tent unlawfully.
The woman, whose name has not yet been released, was subsequently taken into custody and charged with burglary. While the exact circumstances surrounding her presence at the campsite remain under investigation, law enforcement officials confirmed that there were no signs of forced entry into the tent. This suggests the woman may have simply unzipped the tent and entered without causing any damage to the structure itself.
The family, understandably shaken by the incident, cooperated fully with the police investigation. They expressed relief that they discovered the situation before settling in for their reunion and that no one was harmed. The family reunion proceeded as planned, albeit with a slightly delayed start and a memorable story to share.
The incident serves as a reminder to always secure personal belongings, even in seemingly safe environments like campsites. The local police department is urging anyone who observes suspicious activity in campgrounds or public areas to report it immediately. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to be released as they become available.
