At 4:11 p.m., a witness on 200 block Hampton Drive reported a burglary in progress. The man who called about the burglary told police what happened and said his suspicions were raised when when he saw Borochaner, who he formally attended school with, get out of the passenger side of a silver car and walk to a Hampton Drive house, police said. Borochaner was at the rear of the house when the witness saw him take off his latex gloves and put them in his back pockets, police said. The 20-year-old fled on foot and the witness gave chase, court documents state.
Police caught up with the driver of the silver car, which drove away while Borochaner ran, and he confessed that he drove while Borochaner attempted to rob houses. No charges have been files against the driver as of late week.
