The burglary involved $27,500 in jewelry, handbags, and electronics. Most of the stolen items were recovered during the investigation.
On July 4, Scottsdale Police responded to a residence in the area of 11400 E Black Rock Rd for a burglary in progress. An adult family member was inside the residence when the burglary occurred. The homeowners were not present at the time. A family member told police he was at the home when he observed a man, later identified as Jeremy Dykstra, walk in front of a window. As the family member went to leave the residence, Dykstra had parked a vehicle in the driveway, blocking the garage. Shortly after, the family member heard a window break and ran to neighbors to call 911.
Upon officers’ arrival at the residence, Dykstra was behind the wheel of a car in the driveway. Officers attempted to block the car using a patrol vehicle, but Dykstra drove away from the scene at high speed, hitting a responding officer’s car. In doing so, two officers who were on foot and not in a vehicle were nearly hit by Dykstra’s car.
Other responding officers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle with its license plate covered up. Out of interest in public safety, they terminated pursuit as it drove at excessive speeds and even drove wrong way into oncoming traffic.
