A residential burglary was reported in the 2000 block of Orchard Lane on March 23 at 3:02 p.m. The homeowner told the deputy that she secured her home before leaving and no one should have been on the property while she was gone. When she returned home, she noticed cabinets inside the garage left ajar. Upon further inspection, she discovered additional cabinets open inside the house with a bloody fingerprint near the alarm panel. After the deputy arrived, they conducted a walkthrough of the property and discovered that a bedroom sliding glass door had been shattered. The resident did not know if there was anything missing from the house. The homeowner also had CCTV footage capturing the backyard, revealing three unidentified men entering through the east side of the property’s gate. One suspect was seen wearing a blue hoodie, a black mask, blue sweatpants and white tennis shoes. The other suspect was wearing a black hoodie, a black mask, blue pants and orange shoes, and a third suspect was wearing a white hoodie, white sweatpants, a black mask, and blue and white shoes.

A burglary was reported in the 2300 block of Foothill Boulevard between March 22 at 6 p.m. and March 23 at 7:29 a.m. The manager at the location said an unknown person smashed a glass window in the garage door. Upon arriving, the manager noticed the electricity was out in the building. He determined that about 10 vehicle batteries, a radiator machine and a transmission machine were stolen from the business. He told the deputy that he still had to conduct inventory of items stolen and other tools to get an accurate list of stolen property. Although the business did have video surveillance cameras, the manager did not have access to it because the power was out. The deputy conducted a walk-through and noticed that the AMP plug to the circuit breaker was missing, which cut the electricity in the business.
