A homeowner chased down a residential burglary suspect Tuesday and detained him until Culver City police officers arrived to take him into custody.
The burglary occurred about midnight in the 4100 block of Lafayette Place, one block from Culver Boulevard, according to the Culver City Police Department.
The suspect entered the home through a kitchen window, where he was confronted by the homeowner. Officers arrived on scene less than a minute after receiving the call, but the resident had pursued the suspect on foot and “detained him in the area of Lafayette Place and Lucerne Avenue,” police reported.
Officers took the suspect, who was not immediately identified, into custody without incident.
