PHOENIX -- A 9-year-old Phoenix boy is being credited with helping police catch three men accused of breaking into his neighbor's home.

Graham Young said he was playing in his backyard when he saw a man entering his neighbor's home through a front window.

"I think they took off the screen and then they went through the window," he said.

He then alerted his mother, Debbie, who called 911.

While his mother was on the phone with 911, Graham saw two other suspects go into the home.

Phoenix Police spokesman Tommy Thompson said Graham kept an eye on the suspects and relayed information to his mother until police arrived.

Thompson said thanks to Graham police arrested three men and recovered stolen items from the home.

"We've taught him right and wrong ever since he was a little boy," Debbie said.
