Burglary plan foiled by concerned neighbor

Think neighbors don’t watch out for neighbors anymore? Ask Demory Walcott.

Thibodaux Police spokesman David Melancon said Walcott, 17, of 1304 Eagle Drive in Thibodaux, was trying to break into a home in the 100 block of Notre Dame last Tuesday around 1:30 p.m. An alert neighbor, who knew the homeowners were gone, received a call that a suspicious person was on the property.

Walcott fled before police arrived, but officers found him walking in the 600 block of Government Circle.•
