Police: Gate City homeowner holds burglary suspect at gunpoint until police arrive
A police report says a Gate City, Virginia homeowner was able to hold a burglary suspect at gunpoint while two of his accomplices hid in an attic.
Sheriff’s Office officials got a call about an ongoing breaking and entering incident in the 200 block of Barlett Drive just after 8:30 Thursday morning.
A brief standoff with the two hide-and-seek suspects ended when they surrendered peacefully. Joseph Matthew Summers and William Light, both of Gate City, and Lawrence J. Holbrook of Big Stone are all charged with burglary, attempted grand larceny, destruction of private property, and conspiracy.
