Crystal City Police
caught a brazen burglar and his sidekick on Dec. 16 after the would-be robber
challenged the homeowner as to who really owned the home.
It took place in the 2400 block of Hwy. 61-67 just after noon when the homeowner entered the home and found an apparent burglary in progress.
According to authorities, when the owner entered the residence they were confronted by a male subject who actually asked the homeowner what he was doing in the house. The homeowner told him he was the owner and the subject said they would see about that.
The homeowner ran out and called police and when officers responded they saw two men fleeing on foot. They captured both men after a short foot chase.
The suspects, a 46-year Cedar Hill man and a 53-year-old Arnold man, were arrested on suspicion of first-degree burglary, a Class B felony, and misdemeanor charges of trespassing. They were released pending application of warrants.
Authorities reported that there were no injuries and nothing appeared to have been taken. The men entered the house through an unlocked rear door.
