Witness chases down burglary suspect
Posted by John de Leon
Police arrested a juvenile burglary suspect Wednesday afternoon after he was chased down by a witness.
Residents of a home in the 2000 block of 29th Avenue South interrupted a burglary in progress at 1:21 p.m. Wednesday. At least one person -- described by police as a witness -- chased the two burglars as they ran from the home. The witness chased the two south on 29th Avenue South, eventually catching one of the burglars at 30th Avenue South and South Hill Street.
Officers arrived and took custody of the burglar. Property stolen from the home was recovered from the suspect, who is a juvenile. He was booked into the Youth Services Center for investigation of burglary.
Police searched the area but could not find the other burglar.
