One suspect is in custody and a manhunt is on for a second suspect in a burglary this afternoon in the Village of Amelia.
Two suspects were spotted in a white vehicle in the 600 block of Inner Circle at roughly 3 p.m. today.
A neighbor noticed the suspicious vehicle and contacted law enforcement.
When a Sumter County sheriff’s deputy arrived he saw one male sitting in the car. Another male was involved in a burglary in progress.
One of the suspects was taken into custody while the other one took off on foot.
Lake County Sheriff’s Office and Lady Lake Police Department helped establish a search perimeter on Cherry Lake Road.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office helicopter hovered over County Road 466 in the general vicinity of the Haciendas of Mission Hills, the Village of Caroline, and the Village of Amelia for about an hour.
A sheriff’s bloodhound also joined in the search.
