Columbus police Burglary Detective James Francis doesn’t advise bystanders to stop criminals in the act—but acknowledges that 14- and 15-year-old boys will “do what 14- and 15-year-old boys do.”

Teens Aaromn Hunt, 15, and Desmar Woods, 14, on Sept. 5 crossed paths with a would-be burglar in their eastside neighborhood; the pair were riding their bikes and spotted the suspicious man skulking from home to home—closing on an 80-year-old man’s residence and began to enter the window.
