Two Sumner PD Officers were on pro-active foot patrol this morning at 3am in the northeast part of town when they interrupted an attempted auto theft in progress. The suspect(s) fled in a Maroon Dodge Charger when they saw the officers. Although these particular suspects escaped, word is out that Sumner PD is on patrol even at 3am. Thanks to our officers for getting out and deterring crime while the rest of us are asleep in bed!
