According to Burnsville police, the incident started around 11:50 a.m. Friday when a homeowner interrupted a burglary on the 1400 block of McAndrews Road. The suspect pointed a gun at the homeowner before speeding away in a vehicle. The homeowner chased the burglary suspect in his own car for about a mile, before the suspect crashed into a house near 134th Street and Burncrest Court.

I don't recommend chasing an armed burglar yourself, but I'm happy the thug got caught.
