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.
Two people sentenced to prison for violent crime spree
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.
