Man injured while attempting break in

LUDINGTON — A man was injured this morning as he attempted to break into Ray’s Auto-Marine, 801 S. Washington Ave. EMS, fire and police were called to the scene where the man was tended to and then transported to the hospital.

The business serves as a marina for charter boats, as well as marine and auto repair. Karboske said one of the charter boat people found the attempted burglar when he went to his the building’s bathroom.
