Two men suspected of attempting to burglarize a home in Parkland have been detained, thanks to the quick action of local deputies and modern surveillance technology. On Tuesday, a homeowner, while at work, observed through his doorbell camera two individuals prowling around his premises where his pregnant wife and small child resided. He promptly called 911 to report the disturbance, describing the suspects' last known location on Military Rd. E.
According to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department, deputies swiftly responded and managed to locate one subject on a neighboring property. Soon after, they spotted the second suspect further down the road. The quick-witted deputies were able to identify and apprehend the suspects, one of whom claimed he was simply trying to charge his phone and pick up a Treger left from a previous vacancy.
The second suspect, found with a large suitcase filled with tools evidently designed for burglary, didn't seem to have a convincing story to explain his possession. Both men, aged 44 and 41, were arrested and booked into the Pierce County Jail on charges of residential burglary and possession of burglary tools. The authorities have lauded the deputies for their rapid response, suggesting that the episode could have escalated much further without their intervention.
