Anchorage police responded quickly to a woman’s call for help during a home invasion, reaching her house while two suspects were allegedly still inside.
The woman called 911 at 5:11 p.m., stating she was hiding upstairs in her home because she heard someone break in through her glass back door. She said “she could still hear that they were inside on the first floor,” a statement from police explained.
The home is on the 6200 block of Ophir Drive, and when police arrived, two men ran from the home, police wrote.
Police arrested 23-year-old Suna Alavez Jr at the scene, the statement said. The second suspect, 21-year-old Elijah Tuimoloau, ran away but was caught at 5:27 p.m. in a nearby trailer park.
Police booked both men at the Anchorage Correctional Complex under charges of burglary and criminal mischief.
The woman was not hurt during the incident, police said.
