PUEBLO WEST, COLO. -- Pueblo County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a 15-year-old boy and are looking for other potential suspects who tried breaking into a 61-year-old woman's home early Monday morning.

The woman called 911 around 3:27 a.m. after she heard glass breaking. When deputies arrived, they searched her one-floor house in the 700 block of West Questa Drive in Pueblo West but didn't find anyone inside.

However, other deputies chased a car away from the scene long enough to get its car description and license plate. They went to the house of the car listing and arrested the 15-year-old there.

The boy will be charged with criminal attempt to commit second degree burglary, criminal mischief and felony vehicle eluding after failing to stop for deputies.
