By the time the jumped back into their car and tried to flee, responding officers had arrived and blocked the road. Two of the suspects, 20-year-old Gerald Harris and 21-year old Marlon Conley, bailed from the car and fled on foot, but were apprehended.
Police say a citizen, seeing what was going on, pulled up to block the driver's side door, blocking a third suspect's ability to escape.
While in police custody, that suspect, 21-year-old Tyesha Stevenson of Troy, gave officers consent to search her apartment where they found several items previously stolen from a home in the same neighborhood.
Recovered by police included two flat screen TV's, two laptop computers, a desktop computer, a stamp collection, a camera and a Nintendo 64 video game system. The apartment did not contain any couches, tables or chairs.
