YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A burglary suspect and his accused accomplice are behind bars just one day after the Yuma County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) asked the public for its help tracking down the pair.

Deputies took 25-year-old Shawn Tavender and a woman into custody this morning in the 12000 block of E. 34th Place. They say Tavender and the woman burglarized a Foothills business early Monday morning, stealing a number of tools from vehicles in a locked yard.
