Police say a teen caught after trying to burglarize a home Thursday is responsible for another home burglary.

The Omaha Police Department says officers responding to a report of a burglary in progress around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday near 50th and Corby streets were able to find the 17-year-old suspect nearby.

The homeowner told police he was upstairs in his home when he heard loud knocking and then a window breaking, according to police, and went down to see the suspect running away.

Police say they located the teen a short distance away at 49th Avenue and Miami Street.

Investigators said they were able to determine the teen was responsible for another burglary earlier in the day and recovered unspecified evidence.
