Troopers seek information on burglary, assault in Montana Creek area

Alaska State Troopers are looking for two people in connection with a burglary that was interrupted on Wednesday evening.

According to Troopers, the call of a burglary in progress near Mile 96 of the Parks Highway came in shortly before 6:00 pm. 

The caller told Troopers he confronted the two would-be burglars in his driveway.  He says the suspects then tried to run him over in a black Chevy Avalanche pickup truck.  The caller says he fired a pistol at the vehicle.  The suspects then fled the scene in the truck.

Troopers later found the pickup abandoned about five miles away with a flat tire.  They ask that anyone with information on the incident call CrimeStoppers at 745-3333 or Trooper dispatch at 352-5401.
