Neighbor blocks burglar getaway car til cops arrive

Man Charged With Arundel Break-Ins

ARUNDEL, Maine - A man from Arundel is facing charges after a thwarted break-in attempt.

The York County Sheriff's Department says a woman living on Shady Lane in Arundel arrived home and found an intruder inside. She called the police while a neighbor used their car to block in the intruder's vehicle. When police arrived, the man, 26-year-old Keith Lamb, told them he was in the area looking for work.

Lamb was arrested for several outstanding warrants, and later admitted to breaking in to the home. Sheriff's deputies recoved about $4000 worth of jewelry from the home that Lamb had thrown into the woods.

Police say Lamb has also confessed to 5 other break-ins in Arundel over the last few weeks.

  1. It goes without saying that it was an incredibly risky move to have confronted the guy; he could have had a gun, and things could have ended much differently had that been the case.

    That said, kudos to the woman and her neighbor for braving the situation and stopping this guy from breaking into any more homes.
