Meanwhile, another person fled on foot.

Officers were able to capture William Brookins, 16, as he tried to run out of a door of the building. Officers also found a stolen vehicle that was used by the suspects in the burglary.

The Alachua County Sheriff's Office and University of Florida Police Department assisted in the search for one of the other suspects and were able to locate Breyon Gilbert, 22.

After interviews with Gilbert and Brookins, police were able to confirm the third suspect's identification as 24-year-old Norris Richardson, of Jacksonville, who they believe was driving the other suspects.
