Two juvenile suspects were arrested Tuesday night in connection with a vehicle burglary spree.
On Monday, Sept. 7, the Sierra Vista Police Department responded to multiple reports of vehicle burglaries in the Canyon de Flores neighborhood. Given the number of incidents, SVPD encouraged residents to check their vehicles and report any missing items or damage.
A total of twelve vehicles were targeted in this series of burglaries. Most of the vehicles were left unsecured, and one showed signs of attempted hotwiring.
During the investigation, police gathered valuable information from home security camera footage, which captured images of the suspects and helped to establish a timeline and the route they took. Additionally, surveillance from a local gas station provided further evidence in the case.
Thanks to community engagement and tips received after social media outreach, investigators were able to follow leads that led to the identification of the suspects and the execution of search warrants.
