Two Vehicle Burglars Caught after Unlocked Vehicles

August 30, 2010 |

On August 29th, between 10:00pm and 11:00pm, two vehicle burglars found easy targets at an Ashland City Road apartment complex when they located three unlocked vehicles in the complex’s parking lot. Two men rummaging through vehicles and prowling through the area got the attention of two apartment dwellers; both called 911 to report the suspicious activity.

One of the alert citizens kept an eye on the would-be burglars and advised responding officers of clothing and suspect descriptions and that they were headed toward Glendale Drive. Officers arrived in the area and found two men matching a witness’ description. When the men saw the officers, they took off running, but were apprehended after a short foot chase; one man provided officers a false name after being caught.
