Coconut Creek police say three men who came into the city looking to break into cars left in handcuffs early Saturday morning.
According to investigators, officers responded around 3:37 a.m. on August 23 to a 911 call reporting suspects trying to rummage through unlocked vehicles in the 4400 block of Banyan Trails Drive. Police quickly set up a perimeter around the neighborhood.
An officer soon spotted a blue car within the perimeter and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Police said all three men inside jumped out and ran, but officers chased them down and took them into custody.
The suspects were identified as Howard Fray, 23, of West Park, and Christian Rodriguez, 22, and Joseph Rodriguez, 18, both of Hollywood. Each was charged with attempted burglary and resisting arrest. Officers also recovered burglary tools from the car, police said.
Authorities added that all three men had active warrants from other jurisdictions. They were transported to the Broward County Jail.
Bond information for the men was not immediately available.
