"Durham - A woman in North Durham may have helped solve at least half a dozen break-ins in her area after she confronted three strangers who broke into her house on Hallmark Road Wednesday.
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she came home and found three men upstairs. One of them had her purse, so she confronted them.
“She said she was struck, struck by one of the intruders,” said Lt. Stanley Harris with the Durham County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman followed the intruders outside, and one of the men fired a gun, deputies said. The woman was not injured.
The woman quickly dialed 911, which helped authorities catch the suspects.
During the 911 call, the woman can be heard telling the dispatcher that the suspects were driving a white Cadillac.
Minutes later, a deputy responding to the scene spotted the vehicle and pulled it over.

All three men now face multiple charges. Authorities arrested Carlos Jones, Jameel Ray and Michael Pullium. Although he was listed in court document as “Michael Pullium,” investigators said his name is actually Mark Travers.
Ray was previously charged with murder and was out on bond awaiting trial.
Authorities believe the men were responsible for other break-ins in the area.

Neighbors said they believe the community is still safe. Although, now they are a bit more inclined to take the neighborhood watch more seriously."

Although there have been no recent break-ins in Grande Park, to my knowledge, Hallmark Rd. is right around the corner.
