When police arrived to investigate, they discovered many of the missing items stacked against the back of the house near a window that had been pried open, according to police.

Police recalled an earlier report of a suspicious car in the area and when they found it, they also found a man nearby, who identified himself as Tyrie Bouges, police said.

“I was out for a jog in the neighborhood,” police said Bouges told them.

Williams and Ryan Smith were soon found by police nearby, they said, and admitted to being with Bouges.

They were allegedly waiting for Bouges to return with the car to load the stolen items that had been stacked by the house, the Intelligencer report states.

Smith, 27, and Bouges, 21, both pleaded guilty to burglary charges on Monday, according to the Intelligencer.

In addition to the Winding Road incident, Williams also plead guilty to robbing a home on Wooded Road in Abington on the same day, the report states.
