Three juveniles arrested and charged with Occupied Burglary. (Names/photos
not released, as they are juveniles). At approximately 1604 hours, Patrol
Units responded to 720 78th
 St.
in reference to an Occupied Burglary that had just occurred. Undercover
Crime Suppression Team (CST) Units responded to assist patrol units. Upon
speaking with the victim, he stated that he is new to the area and
befriended a couple of local juveniles by the names of "Cory" and "Ray"
from the neighborhood. He went on to state that the two juveniles were
invited guests to his apartment yesterday, and they left after having a
good time. Today, the Victim was in the middle of a mid afternoon nap,
when he was awoken suddenly by the sound of movement in his apartment. He
looked up and saw "Cory" and "Ray" and a third unknown Suspect, rummaging
through his room. He screamed at the juveniles to "Stop" at which point
"Ray" reached into the victim's nightstand, took his IPod Touch (Valued at
$400.00) and wallet, and ran out of the apartment. Upon running after the
subjects, the victim noticed that the subjects gained entry by removing
the jalousie windows off his front door. Crime Scene responded to process
the scene.
CST Units have been dealing with several "Purple City Gangster" Gang
Members who matched the description of "Ray" and "Cory" for the past year
and are well-known burglary subjects. As we canvassed the Hawthorne/Crespi
area, Motor Officer Campos located a Subject matching the description of
the third subject at 401 71st Street, who was positively identified.
Approximately two hours later, CST Detectives located “Ray” and “Cory”
walking together in the 7900 Blk of Crespi. Both suspects were positively
identified and transported to MBPD to be interviewed by Det. Sierra.
During the course of the interview with Detective Sierra, “Ray” confessed
to the burglary and further explained that the IPod Touch was in the third
subject’s apartment. CST Units responded to the apartment and retrieved
the stolen property. Case is CLOSED BY ARREST.
Note: These three juveniles have serious arrest records and are
documented gang members. Their ages range from 14-16 years of age. If you
see a juvenile in your neighborhood during school hours, and they look
like they belong in school, call Police immediately. Most burglaries are
committed during business/school hours. We will stop and interview
juveniles skipping from school and up to no good and take necessary
action. Together, we can prevent burglaries by being vigilant. |
