ARRESTED!

We returned home Thanksgiving afternoon to this scene!

There were 7 police vehicles in our little court. 

We could not even get to our driveway.

We parked at the end of the street & walked to our house.

We asked one of the officers what was going on.

He said there had been two arrests with the suspects currently in 2 of the police vehicles.

 

We had to let Charlie out, so proceeded into the house. 

While I walked Charlie Jim asked our neighbor for more details.

One of the suspects is in the back seat of this car.

Apparently a car had come speeding into the court, parked in a neighbor's drive & 2 people got out & started walking around the neighbor's house.  Another neighbor saw the suspicious actions & called the police. 

Many police cars arrived on the scene plus dogs plus a helicopter. 

One suspect was apprehended quickly.  After some time the second suspect was apprehended.  This all happened 2-3 hours before we arrived home. 

We missed all the excitement!

It took another 2-3 hours to wrap up the details & haul the suspect's car away.

 

I guess it's a good thing we had Charlie, the watch dog, to keep an eye on things while we were gone. 

The suspects might have picked our house to check out if Charlie had not scared them off!
