ALERT NEIGHBOR FOILS BURGLARY, POLICE PURSUIT ENSUES
This morning at 9:41am. an alert resident called police saying there was a suspicious male looking over the fence of a neighbor's house and into an open window. The resident also said there was a car to the front of the residence with additional persons sitting inside. The resident provided police with a description of the car along with a description of the suspicious males who were now walking towards the car.
The vehicle left prior to officers arriving, however one LVPD officer spotted a vehicle matching the description, East bound on the 210 Fwy. As the officer was pulling up behind the vehicle, the driver decided to try and evade police and a pursuit ensued, leading officers from LVPD on a chase into the City of Upland. The driver and passenger bailed out of the vehicle at 17th and San Antonio, where a perimeter was set up. Assisted by Officers from Upland PD and the helicopter from the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department along with a blood hound from the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, both suspects were eventually caught and booked into LVPD. Officers confirmed that a burglary had occurred at the residence, where the suspects left a large quantity of loot inside of pillow cases.
Excellent job by the alert neighbor, who provided police with detailed information and decided to call police immediately. The burglary occurred on Mimosa.
