Two Arrested in Auto Burglaries Alert police work led to the arrest of two men suspected in at least 150 West Nashville auto burglaries in the past six weeks. West Precinct Officers Matthew Stevenson and Shaun Rohweder spotted the pair on 46th Avenue North near Alabama Avenue in a 1996 Ford F-150. The pickup had been developed as a suspect vehicle in the break-ins. The driver, James Duncan, 42, and his passenger, Corey Bland, 20, were taken into custody at 1:45 a.m. Duncan claimed that Bland paid him to drive around various neighborhoods, includ- ing Sylvan Park, Bellevue, Oak Hill and Green Hills, while Bland broke into vehicles. Burglary tools and electronics were recovered from inside the pickup. Duncan, of Rome Avenue, took investiga- tors to several locations where auto burglaries occurred overnight, including seven in the 200 block of Cherokee Avenue and two on Lynnwood Terrace. So far, Duncan and Bland are charged with posses- sion of burgla- ry tools.
