Brighton Police charged a Rochester man with criminal possession of stolen property after an alert homeowner called them about two suspicious men in the neighborhood.
The caller reported seeing two men going car-to-car on Lilac Drive in Brighton. Police arrived and caught 19-year-old Robert DeRouen. The second suspect got away.
DeRouen was carrying a number of items apparently stolen from cars, mostly people’s phones, keys and sunglasses.
DeRouen was turned over to Rochester Police, who had a criminal warrant for his arrest on file.
