Two arrested in connection to home burglaries in San Diego, LA
Dec 23, 2024
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Two suspects were arrested earlier this month in connection to a series of burglaries at homes in San Diego County and Los Angeles this fall, and a search of a Los Angeles home led authorities to a stockpile of stolen items.
The investigation has been ongoing since Nov. 15 when officers responded to calls for a residential burglary at a Carlsbad home.

The homeowner had called police after seeing on his security cameras from another location that two people were in his backyard wearing hoodies, gloves and bandanas. They reportedly entered the home through a second-story balcony window and stole luxury handbags from a closet, $10,000 in cash, passports and Social Security cards from an unlocked safe.
Nearly a month later, on Dec. 12, Carlsbad Police detectives assisted San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies in finding a vehicle believed to be connected to a residential burglary in San Marcos earlier that day, that was also connected to the Nov. 15 Carlsbad burglary.

Carlsbad Police report authorities attempted to pull over the vehicle, but terminated the pursuit "in the interest of public safety." Police later found the vehicle abandoned after it had been crashed into a wall.
A police K-9 unit, with the help of witnesses that saw the driver flee the scene, was able to find and arrest two suspects who were booked into jail by the San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies. They have not yet been identified by authorities.

Carlsbad Police detectives then followed leads to a home in Los Angeles where police executed a search warrant and found several designer purses, cash, jewelry, smartphones, passports, foreign currency and a handgun that was reported stolen during a residential burglary in Los Angeles County earlier in the year.
Detectives are now working with other law enforcement agencies across the state and are looking to identify potential victims connected to the recovered items.
