Two men allegedly broke into a Champaign home Sunday. According to police reports, police are looking for two men who tried to sneak into the home through the back door.

The house was apparently under construction, although the home’s owner was there at the time of the break in. When she saw the men, she attempted to hit one on the head with an ax, causing both of them to flee.

If police do not have a warrant to search an individual’s apartment, they may still be able to search parts or all of the apartment.

For instance, if the individual has a roommate and the roommate gives the police permission, then the police may search parts of the apartment. This provision limits the search to common areas, meaning that police will likely not be able to search an individual’s room.
