Police Honored For Capturing 3 Talamore Burglary Suspects

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —They thwarted a burglary in the Talamore Development.

It was the early morning hours of Dec. 3 when police officers responded to a report of a burglary in progress at a Talamore home.

Officers converged on the home and discovered that it had been burglarized. Home security footage showed three suspects fleeing the residence.

A K9 and drone were requested from neighboring departments to assist in tracking the suspects while Horsham officers set up a perimeter to contain the suspects, said Police Chief Scott Fida during the recent Horsham Township Council meeting in which the police officers were honored for their efforts.

The commendations were for Corp. Kathleen Ryan and Police Officers Andrew D’Arcy, Anna Kumor, David Breznicky, and Joseph Kelley.

Shortly after deploying the K9 and drone, the drone operator reported suspects fleeing from the pursuing K9.

The drone observed two suspects getting into a car and fleeing onto Tennis Avenue.

Police officers located the vehicle and effected a vehicle stop. Two suspects were taken into custody without incident. A short time later, the third suspect was located by officers at the 7-11 in Maple Glen and taken into custody as well.

"Due to these officers’ quick response and teamwork, three burglars have been taken off the street," Fida said.

The police chief added that the three suspects were also part of an organized ring responsible for multiple burglaries throughout Montgomery and Bucks counties.
