Two men were arrested Tuesday
in Southwest Lubbock after they tried to rob a house, police say.
Authorities were
called out to the 4300 of 45th Street around 1:50 p.m. Tuesday. A witness said
they saw two men jump the fence into the backyard of a home and kick in the
door.
The suspects
were still in the house while the police arrived. One of the men was
immediately taken into custody, but the second suspect ran.
"The suspect
that ran a couple blocks and was hiding in the storage shed refused to come out
and comply with officers," Sergeant Jonathan Stewart said. "K-9 was used to take
him into custody and he did suffer some dog bite injuries."
Sergeant Stewart
also said the suspects did not take anything from the house.
