Bradley County Sheriff’s deputies responding to a call of a burglary in progress Tuesday afternoon took two suspects into custody after their arrival on J-Mack Circle.

A 9-1-1 caller reported seeing someone going into an apartment through a broken window. Deputies located the apartment and went inside where they found two juveniles, ages 14 and 16. The two youths were taken into custody and were detained at the Bradley County Juvenile Center.

Sheriff Tim Gobble said the first patrol deputy arrived less than five minutes after the call went out.

"Our average response time to an emergency situation is seven minutes. If we are able to continue our program of putting additional patrol personnel on the street we hope to reduce that to five minutes or less so we can do a better job of deterring crime and catching criminals in the act," Gobble said.
