They found two males wearing backpacks leaving a house and entering the backyard, Elgin police said.

The pair was detained while officers discovered an open door the males were seen exiting, Elgin police said.

The owner of the home was contacted, returned to the residence and confirmed that items were missing, Elgin police said.
