A car alarm alerted a Dundee neighborhood to car burglars early Monday morning, April 3, 2023, which resulted in the arrests of the three men by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

At about 12:27 am, PCSO deputies along with Drone and K-9 units, responded to the Ridge of Dundee subdivision after one of the victims reported three suspects wearing dark clothing and backpacks.

The drone unit spotted a suspicious black Chrysler 300 in the area and it was stopped by deputies. Inside the car were three men matching the description given by the victim. The men were in possession of face coverings, burglary tools, and computer equipment and purses stolen from the burglarized vehicles. 

“What a perfect example of ‘See something, say something,’ and how well it can work. Deputies were notified immediately and given a good description of the suspects. It was a great job by the witness and the responding deputies.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff.
