Two were nabbed after a cross-field chase led by Chief Laura Carroll. the third was caught entering the post office to check Army eligibility. Fingerprint evidence tied one to six local burglaries in a two week span. The other two, aged 20 and 16, admitted eight break-ins across two residential districts during bold daylight raids.
