Two KC men charged in Raytown burglaries and police pursuit

Two Kansas City men were charged Wednesday after a burglary investigation led Raytown police on a pursuit into Kansas City on Monday afternoon.

Scott Roberts, 47, and Timothy Younce, 42, have each been charged with first- and second-degree burglary, stealing and resisting arrest.

Raytown police responded Monday to a residence in the 8500 block of Crescent Avenue where a burglary was reportedly taking place. Officers located the suspected burglars, who fled in a truck.

A pursuit ensued, ending when the truck wrecked off of Interstate 70 near Van Brunt Boulevard in Kansas City. After a brief struggle, Younce was taken into custody. Roberts was then located in a nearby vacant house.

Items taken from two Raytown homes were found in the wrecked truck, according to court documents.

Bond was set at $15,000 for both men.
