After being out of town for some time, a Louisiana homeowner returned home on Monday afternoon to find two unknown men, from New Orleans, at his residence, one inside and the other outside, according to cops.
The burglary in progress reportedly occurred around 3 p.m. on Monday, April 18.
According to police reports, the homeowner asked the suspect who was standing outside the house “What are you doing here?” to which the suspect replied that he was painting the house, and his boss had dropped him and the other suspect off there.
The homeowner called 911 after telling the two suspects to leave the property, which they did in an unknown direction, according to Hammond Police Department.
Officers heading to the home to respond to the burglary in progress saw two men fitting the suspects’ description and took them into custody.
Investigators later discovered that the suspects, identified as Dwan Harris and Gregory Davis, had allegedly broken into the home and stolen several items, according to the police department.
Dwan Harris, 29, of New Orleans, was charged with burglary of an inhabited dwelling, criminal damage, and resisting an officer by flight.
Gregory Davis, 26, was charged with burglary of an inhabited dwelling and criminal damage.
