Police say do not defend your property
Police: Don't chase after thieves

A man chased after a group of men trying to steal his pickup at his home near Jomax Road and 73rd Avenue.
One of the suspects turned around and shot him in the leg. He'll be okay, but Mike Tellef with Peoria Police said they are concerned because this is the third Valley case in the last few weeks where car theft victims have chased after the crooks.
"Property crimes are things that just don't justify chasing people and firing shots or getting yourself shot," Tellef said. "We're hoping to get the word out to the public to 'just be good witnesses.'"
Tellef said that means calling 911 and giving them good descriptions.
In the other two separate cases, the victims shot the car theft suspects. One of the suspects died and one of the shooters was arrested .
