Usually Monday marks the first day of a long work week and this Monday was like any other for one Raytown resident living in the 8300 block of Elm when the homeowner left for work today (01-28-2013). One difference however was a phone call from the Police saying Detectives were in her house and it had just been burglarized. Raytown Police Officer’s responded to the area of 83rd Street and Elm around 1:00 p.m. to investigate a report of a person “breaking into” a house. When Police arrived they surrounded the house and confirmed someone was inside. A black man in his late teens ran out of the house and Police chased him on foot for a short time. The man was taken into custody and held on an investigative hold. Charges are pending with The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office and the investigation is ongoing. Police credit alert neighbors that did not hesitate to call the police.
