Update: MPD apprehends burglary suspect

Maricopa Police Department apprehended a suspect in a burglary this morning after closing down an area of Glennwilde.

The police tracked the suspect vehicle from Tortosa to Glennwilde after a resident reported finding a burglar in his home with his gun. The fleeing vehicle briefly eluded MPD, but an officer in an unmarked car found it at a home in Glennwilde, where the suspect allegedly was trying to switch out license plates.

The suspect picked up a woman and a child and tried to leave the subdivision but was contained before reaching Honeycutt Road. More information is pending.
