A Bradenton man woke up in his house on the 2000 block of Flamingo Boulevard around 4:18 Saturday morning to find two men inside home.

According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, at that point, the two suspects fled from the victim's home as the victim gave chase.

Deputies said the victim was able to catch one suspect, 19-year-old James Martin.

The second suspect, deputies said, fled in a silver Chrysler 300. No description of the second suspect was provided.

Electronics taken from the victim's home were recovered just outside where they were dropped, according to information released by Sgt. Brady McCabe.
