Duxbury Police were involved in a manhunt most of Thursday afternoon after a homeowner interrupted a break-in on Seabury Point.

Lt. Lewis Chubb of the Duxbury Police said the department received a call from a homeowner who had interrupted a burglary attempt around 11 a.m.

The homeowner heard a door open and saw a stranger in the basement, Chubb said. The first officer on the scene spotted someone running from the house and apprehended Tyler Peach, 25, of Elm Street.

However, police believed there was at least one other person involved in the home invasion and they began searching the area using dogs. A helicopter from the State Police’s air wing was also scrambled to search the neighborhood from the sky.

Police combed the area until about 6 p.m., when they called off the search, Chubb said.

Peach was charged with breaking and entering in the daytime with intent to commit a felony and placing a person in fear, as well as resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
