The Sioux Falls Police Department has arrested a man, 26, for a first-degree burglary during the weekend.
The incident happened at about 6:20 a.m. Sunday in the 300 block of North Nesmith Avenue. The residents happened to be inside, when somebody broke in their window, police department spokesperson Sam Clemens said. The residents managed to hold the intruder until the police arrived.
“Other people inside the house ended up coming upon him, so there was a little bit of a struggle, and they held him until police got there,” said Clemens.
He said the intruder had no connection to the house he broke into, and the police were not sure about the reasons behind the break-in.
Nothing was taken as the result of the burglary. No injuries were reported.
