NAPLES, Fla. (AP) -- A suspect in jewelry heist got caught after he tried to get away -- in the sheriff's car.

The two men dressed in black jumped into a car they apparently thought was a getaway car, only to bolt again when they noticed the driver wore a badge. They were fleeing as a sheriff's helicopter and K-9 units searched for burglary suspects shortly after a break-in.

Combing a gated community for men who had stolen jewelry from a home, Collier County Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Maxfield saw two men run out of the bushes and toward his unmarked car.

The men's backs were turned as they got into the car, and they didn't notice his sheriff's jacket until they were inside.

Maxfield said he yelled "sheriff's office, freeze!" But the men scrambled out of the car and started running.
