At approximately 7:30 a.m., Wednesday, May 6 Duluth Police responded to a report of a vehicle prowl where a computer, wallet, and checkbook were stolen. A Community Service Officer (CSO) was able to identify the suspected individuals and locate them in the area of North Central Avenue. Officers responded and while talking to one suspect, the other suspect fled the scene on foot. After a short foot pursuit, he was apprehended.
