Men pistol-whip man during burglary, lead police on chase
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Police have arrested two suspects who they say pistol-whipped and robbed a man who discovered them burglarizing a home.
The victim told Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers he went inside a friend's house when he noticed a moving truck outside. He found three men burglarizing the Matthews home. He was struck with a gun. Two suspects then stole his 2011 BMW while the third sped off in the rental truck.
A Thursday police statement says an officer later chased the stolen BMW on I-485. The car crashed and both men fled on foot. A K-9 unit caught one of the suspects. Police allege they found stolen items belonging to the homeowner in the car.
