UNIONTOWN, Ohio — A man and a woman made themselves right at home after they allegedly burglarized a Uniontown, Ohio, residence on Christmas Eve.

Uniontown police responded to the 11300 block of Cleveland Avenue around 2:00 p.m. for a report of a suspicious vehicle in a driveway.

Upon their arrival, they found the homeowner's relative holding the alleged burglars on ground at gunpoint, according to the report.
