Police responded to a reported auto burglary in progress on Bartlett St. last week.

Responding officers were reportedly told that the back window of the vehicle had been smashed out by two men and that they were in the process of burglarizing the car.

Upon arrival, officers did not see anyone near the car, but radioed reports indicated that a witness had phoned police and told them that the intruders were inside the car.

As officers approached the vehicle they found the two men in the front seats of the car, fully reclined back in order to hide from police, according to reports.

Sergio Aparicio-Jimenez, 18, and Jonathan Machado, 18, were each placed under arrest and charged with felony daytime breaking and entering of a vehicle or boat and possession of a burglarious instrument.
