(Edgeworth, PA) Three men are now in custody after a burglary that happened in Edgeworth at when the police chief of Edgeworth confirms was around 8:30 a.m. yesterday morning. A female homeowner on Oliver Road noticed her security cameras caught footage of two masked men attempting to break into the back door of the house, and then she called police. When the pair of suspects were inside, police surrounded the home, but the duo ran off. When a male neighbor in Edgeworth saw the suspects running through his backyard, he tackled one of them outside until police put him in handcuffs. The other suspect was hiding in a bush crawling on his hands and knees before a Leetsdale police officer caught him and arrested him. A third man was arrested after Ohio Township police discovered a car with Georgia license plates that authorities say may have been connected with the burglary incident. One witness noticed the police activity and also received a text that Quaker Valley High School was on lockdown after the reported home invasion. Even though the police chief of Edgeworth stated that the men that were arrested were not from the Pittsburgh area, authorities believe that the trio may be a professional group working in that area because they have video of the suspect’s car casing the house that was burglarized from yesterday.
