OREM — Police arrested an 18-year-old man on a warrant Friday after a sharp-eyed resident turned him in.

The man saw two young men on skateboards who looked like the pair he had chased out of his garage a week earlier, police Lt. Doug Edwards said. Nothing was stolen in that incident.

The man followed them for a short distance in the area of 400 S. State, then called police.

Officers stopped the men and discovered one was wanted under a Provo warrant for escape from placement and a nationwide warrant for investigation of a Colorado burglary. He was booked into Utah County Jail.

The second man was released, Edwards said.
