ROCHESTER - A Rochester woman is under arrest and another suspect will soon be charged in a city burglary on Monday afternoon.

Rochester Police got the call around 4:25 p.m. for a burglary reported in progress on Sarah Court by the homeowner who had returned home to find the suspects running out of the house toward a neighboring street.

A New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit attempted to track the suspects, but lost the scent.

Subsequent canvassing of the neighborhood led to information leading police to a possible suspect.

Police then went to the suspect's residence a short distance from where the alleged burglary took place and encountered a male and female matching the description of the two suspects seen leaving the victims house. They also items reported stolen from the residence on Sarah Court.
