Armed Homeowner Stops Two Armed Burglars, Successfully Ending Crime Spree

Two armed burglars were arrested after their luck ran out once they broke into their third home, because they were confronted by an armed homeowner.

The story began when the two burglars broke into the home of a 90-year-old woman and while they were there, stole money and other items from her and pointed a gun to her head.

About 6:30 a.m. Friday the men forced their way into the home of the 90-year-old woman on S. Eau Claire Ave., pointed a gun at her and demanded money. When the woman tried to call for help, one of the men ripped her phone from a wall before both men fled with jewelry.

The woman was badly shaken up, and officers went to the house to check on her status. The burglars, however, were just getting started. After this break-in and robbery, they moved on to another victim, this time a young woman. Just an hour later when a 22-year-old woman was returning to her home, she found one of the burglars in her home and a car in her driveway.
