A Palm Desert man stops attempted burglary
Palm Desert homeowner helped stop an attempted burglary of his home early Saturday morning.
At 3:40 a.m., the homeowner awoke to sounds of a window breaking toward the front of his home in the 43-600 block of Louisiana Street, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department officials.
The man saw two people standing in front of his home. He then armed himself with a pistol and chased the suspects as they fled north toward a golf course.
The man fired one shot, which caused the suspects to surrender until Palm Desert police officers arrived.
Steven Flores, 18, of Palm Desert, and a 16-year-old male teenager from Rancho Mirage were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary. Flores is in the county jail in Indio and the male teenager is at a juvenile detention facility in Indio.
The name of the juvenile is not being released because of his age, officers said.
