Port Washington Police Report: Cats, Kids to Blame for 'Break-in'

Police visited a residence in the 1400 block of Parkway Drive at 8:39 a.m. Monday.

The residents of the home said the window screen was damaged and their cats were outside the home; they suspected a possible break-in.

It was later learned that neighbor kids had been playing with the cats and accidentally pushed the screen out.
