Cops: Homeowner Catches Burglar In The Act

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Princeton man was arrested Thursday morning after allegedly stealing from an attached garage in Baldwin Township, just south of Princeton, Minn., police say.

According to the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office, Duwayne Leese, 29, was arrested after homeowner Michael Granberg saw the burglar standing his garage, holding one of Granberg's weapons.

The suspect fled, police say, but Granberg's description of the man helped authorities find Leese in a wooded area after a foot pursuit.

Leese is being held in the Sherburne County Jail.
