Two Sioux City men are in custody in the Dakota County Jail on burglary related charges.
Dakota County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a burglary in progress call Sunday afternoon in the 1900 block of South Bluff Road.
The two suspects fled on an ATV, drove into a ditch and then fled on foot into nearby woods.
A manhunt began involving eleven deputies, a state trooper and police K-9 officers from Dakota County and Sioux City Police.
They eventually found 29-year-old Michael Rees hiding in the woods.
The Sioux City K-9 then tracked down 31-year-old Derek Malloy, who was hiding in a tree.
Rees and Malloy are charged with Burglary, Possession of Burglary Tools, and Obstructing a Government Operation.
Authorities say more charges are possible in the case.
