One party guest, however, a 29-year-old man, was arrested for two outstanding warrants.
- Caught red-handed. In-A suspected burglar was arrested on the 2400 block of Harrisburg after police saw him leaving a home with suitcases and safes, even using the victimized homeowners' hand truck to haul the loot to his vehicle, and carefully placing the stolen goods in the bed of his pickup truck. Police were alerted to the suspect after a nearby neighbor called to say a suspicious man knocked at the door asking if they had seen his lost dog.
