Willard — Last night, two individuals wearing dark clothing, long sleeves, and masks were observed acting suspiciously in the 200 block of Hayes Street. At this time, no criminal charges have been filed; however, their behavior raised concerns that they may have been attempting to engage in unlawful activity.

It is likely they may be out and about at some point in the future. IF you see anything suspicious, please call the Willard Police Department at (419)933-2561 so that we can check it out.
