Mi Wuk Village, CA…On 12/19/15 at approximately 0200 hours, TCSO Deputies responded to the 21000 block of Wallim Ct. in Mi Wuk Village, for a reported burglary in progress. The call came in as an alarm but the victims quickly called dispatch and advised that they were watching two suspects break into their home via surveillance cameras. The victims were able to give dispatch real time updates as the Deputies were responding. When the Deputies arrived, two male suspects were located inside the home. Both of the suspects were seen wearing ski masks and hooded sweatshirts.

The Deputies set up a perimeter around the home and were able to contain the suspects inside. The Deputies along with help from K9 Hans, gave verbal commands to the suspects from outside of the home. The suspects complied with the verbal orders and the Deputies entered the home and took both male suspects into custody without further incident.

Both suspects were arrested for burglary, vandalism, possession of stolen property, and possession of burglary tools. One of the suspects was a 16 year old juvenile who was booked with Tuolumne County Probation. The 18 year old suspect, Dylan Byrum, was booked at the Tuolumne County Jail. He posted the $50,000 bail on 12/20/15 and was released from custody.

Stolen property recovered at the scene was linked to at least one other recent burglary from Mi Wuk Village. Further investigation is pending on this case.
