Alert neighbors help police catch two burglary suspects

Police Sergeant James Langston says neighbors reported suspicious activity shortly before 3 am in a vacant house that was for sale in the 2600 block of Monterey.   When officers arrived they heard voices inside and called for backup.  Additional officers came and surrounded the house.

One suspect fled through the front door and was arrested.  The other jumped from a second-floor window and was also taken into custody.  Both suspects were jailed for investigation of burglary.
