BOARDMAN

Two people face felony charges after police said they were caught in the act of burglarizing a Mill Creek Drive home.

Gloria Daviduk, 38, of Youngstown, and Michael Rochford, 31, of Columbiana, are charged with burglary and possession of criminal tools involving the incident reported to police by a home-security employee about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

When police arrived at the house, they found rear doors and a window open, according to a police report.

Officers entered the house, where they found Rochford and Daviduk. Police then found two backpacks inside. One contained a wallet and a hair trimmer. The other contained a pry bar, two phones and an alarm clock, according to the report.

The two were caught after an employee for an alarm-system company who was doing a job in the neighborhood saw the suspects breaking into the house and called 911, according to the report.
