N. 2nd St.
A burglary suspect was arrested Tuesday after his alleged victim gave the St. Joseph Police Department a helping hand by slashing his tire.
According to Sgt. Steve Smith police responded to the 3000 block of N. 2nd Street around 11:30 a.m. to a report of a man burglarizing a home.
Smith said when the homeowner came home she found a vehicle parked in her driveway and a man in the process of burglarizing her home.
Smith said she slashed one of the alleged burglar’s tires and contacted police.
The man ran from the home and took off but was picked up by the St. Joseph Police Department in the south end.
Smith said the woman’s quick thinking aided in the suspect’s arrest.
“It sure slowed him down,” said Smith.
The case is currently under investigation.
