St Joseph police believe they’ve caught a car burglar in the act.

A witness called 9-1-1 at 6:05am Friday from the parking lot at the Meadows Apartments, 2216 South Leonard Road, where he said he saw a man going from car to car.

By 6:20am an officer had taken the suspect into custody after a scuffle.

Captain Jeff Wilson of the St Joseph Police Department says multiple vehicles were entered illegally. A 23-year-old black male was taken into custody, but by late morning Friday, investigators were still preparing the case to submit to prosecutors.
