On 09/30/04 at 1:43pm Texarkana Patrol Officers responded to a burglary in progress in the 2200 block of Division St. The owner of the home and a friend walked in on two young males when they arrived home from work. When the juveniles realized that the owner had entered the home they jumped out a window and fled. The owner gave chase and lost site of the juveniles in a nearby neighborhood area. Officers set up a perimeter and called for K-9 assistance. Officer Gibbert and K-9 Oran began to track at least one of the juveniles. K-9 Oran concluded his track at a storage building in the back yard of a residence. K-9 Oran was sent into the building and located the juvenile hiding under a shelf. The juvenile was arrested without conflict.
The 16 year-old was charged with Residential Burglary and transported to J.D.C.
Detectives are working on locating the second juvenile.
