April 20, 2009 Contact: Lt. Paul Child; PIO Centerville Police Dept. 292-8441 Date: April 20, 2009 Burglars get a surprise An alert off duty Salt Lake County Deputy thwarted two juveniles who were in the process of burglarizing several cars in the neighborhood where the deputy lives. Deputy Chad Taylor had just returned home after working a shift with the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office and was still in his uniform but driving his personal car. Deputy Taylor noticed a male pulling on a door handle of a car near his home at 1am last Saturday morning and continued to watch the suspect from inside of his car. The male suspect then walked up to Deputy Taylor’s car, not knowing that the Deputy was inside, and opened the door. As the suspect opened the door Deputy Taylor jumped out of his car. The suspect was so startled that he actually soiled his pants. The suspect then ran on foot with the deputy chasing him. During this time the deputy called Centerville Police on his cellular phone. The deputy lost sight of the burglary suspect but he was later observed entering a nearby home by a Centerville officer using night vision goggles. Another male juvenile who was also involved in the burglaries was located a short time later, and both were charged with numerous counts of vehicle burglary and attempted vehicle burglary. The two suspects were booked into Farmington Bay Youth Correction facility. |
