Note to crooks: Run when you hear that burglar alarm

When you set off a burglar alarm, it's probably time to run, a Colorado Springs man learned overnight, according to police reports.

Just after 2:30 a.m., Colorado Springs Police Department officers were called about a blaring burglar alarm at the Goodyear Auto Service Center, 3287 S. Academy Blvd. The first officer arrived to find a burglar dawdling inside the business with the alarm still screeching, police said.

When the man walked out of the business, he walked straight into a set of handcuffs, officers said. Police said the man, 20-year-old Lucas Salas, was arrested without incident.

Officers said a quick shake-down of Salas turned up burglary tools and cash from the Goodyear store.

Salas is being held at the El Paso County jail this morning in lieu of $10,000 bail.
