WORLAND - A string of burglaries ended when a retired couple caught a 17-year-old male in their home, hit him over the head with a frying pan and forced him to flee, police said.
Four burglaries were attempted between 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. Thursday night and Friday morning, according to police.
The last of the homes robbed belonged to retired couple Deloris and Mel Mead, who were sleeping when Deloris Mead saw a light on in her living room.
"I tiptoed around and the light was on in the living room, the back door going into the garage was open wide, the basement was open wide and the garage door going into the backyard was open wide," she said. She closed and locked the basement door and awakened her husband. While the two were looking around, they heard something rattling the basement door.
Deloris Mead said her husband opened the door and a young male holding a folded hanger tried to run out.
"Mel opened the door and grabbed the kid," she said.
As her husband struggled to subdue the juvenile, Deloris Mead said she grabbed a frying pan and "bopped him over the head with it."
The juvenile fell down the stairs that led to the garage and ran to the backyard, where he jumped the fence.
Shortly after, police spotted a male with a backpack and, after a short chase, apprehended a juvenile, Sgt. Tom Brase with the Worland Police Department said.
The juvenile, whose name was not released, was being held in jail, Brase said.

A message from the President and Founder
Brigitte Gabriel
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit American Congress for Truth.
War has been declared on Christians, Jews, non-Muslims and secularists worldwide by Islamic extremists...simply because we are infidels according to their belief.
As Islamic fundamentalism spreads its tentacles worldwide, it is crucial for the people of the Western world to understand the danger, know what to expect, and know what to do about it.
Threats and realities of forced conversions to Islam, beheadings, torture and murder are quickly becoming commonplace. They’re rarely mentioned in the news and when they are, it’s with a disclaimer…the word “insurgent” has replaced the truth of “terrorists.”
Political correctness is killing us.
This Is The New Reality
We are in for the fight of our lives.
That we have not yet had another terrorist attack in the United States is remarkable, but it will happen. Al Queda keeps its promises.
How do I know this? I was born in Lebanon and raised as a Christian. When the Lebanese Civil War broke out, our family, and our Maronite community came under vicious attack by Islamic extremists.
They promised to destroy us, and as you know from the recent war in Lebanon, the country is now nearly Islamic.
I was nearly killed by a mortar. Our home was destroyed. We lived in a bomb shelter for seven years. Most of my childhood friends were killed. That’s how I know.
We must make the connection between individual safety and a strong national defense, increase civic preparation and political responsibility, and train all Americans to become defenders of our community safety and national security.
