Just after 1:30a.m. Sunday, police were sent to a burglary in progress in the 1000 block of SW Medford in Topeka, according to Lt. Ron Ekis.

A resident was alerted to someone prowling around his home after his motion sensor was activated. The homeowner went outside to investigate and found two men on his property. One of them was rummaging through his vehicle, according to Ekis.

The homeowner was able to detain one subject until police arrived. The other suspect fled on foot and was not located.

Officers arrested a juvenile for conspiracy to commit burglary, theft and battery.

Police did release the name because he is a minor.
