The night Brett Chased them down, his vehicle wasn’t the only one they broke into. A neighbor two blocks down was also hit by the burglars. This morning they woke up to their car vandalized as well.
In his very first encounter with the suspects last week, Faison said he was able to corner one of vandals after searching for about two hours.
“At very first I wished to hurt them and then I began thinking about my family and my job and what I do for the community,» Faison said. «At the same time, for the community I know I don’t want to make the news for hurting somebody or affecting their lives, I want to be fair.”
Faison said the vandals also put the welcome sign from his front porch on top of the vehicle, slashed all four tires and broke the light post on his lawn.

Faison said he wishes he would not have let the guys off so lightly last time.
“Now I’m wishing I wouldn’t have let them go,” Faison said.
Faison and his family have lived in their neighborhood for about two years. He said this is unusual activity for the area.
“The neighborhood is quiet,» Faison said. «We live in a community I feel like should be safe.”
