Suspect cuts through drywall trying to escape KDPS; 2 arrested

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Kalamazoo police say two people were  arrested for breaking into a business, and one of them tried to escape  by cutting through walls.

Police were called around 10:39 p.m. Saturday by a business owner who  saw two people in his repair shop on his surveillance cameras.

Officers set up a perimeter around the building in the 2000 block of  Palmer Avenue, and both suspects tried to escape out a side door. One of  the suspects, a juvenile, was arrested, but the other ran back into the  building.

Police say the second suspect tried to escape by cutting holes  through the drywall of adjacent businesses, making it through three or  four businesses. A KDPS K-9 tracked him through the building and into a  warehouse, where the suspect was found hiding in the rafters. Police say  the 19-year-old male surrendered and was taken into custody.
