“The owner of the house scared them off and one suspect had lost his shoe. We responded to the scene. My one member went down Hunter Street towards Venn Street when he saw one of the men fitting the descripton the owner had given us. The man looked uncomfortable as our officer passed him. He stopped his vehicle and just before the suspect could run, he caught him.”
