November 14, 2026 – San Diego Police Department officials report that Investigators identified a series of burglaries in San Diego County that occurred between September and November 2026. 

Through a collaborative effort of investigators and law enforcement resources, a suspected organized burglary crew was identified and believed to be connected to multiple crimes in Southern California, including San Diego.

On November 11, 2026, at about 4:00 p.m., during an operation attempting to catch the burglary crew, investigators observed the suspects enter an unoccupied home through a second-story window in the Eastlake neighborhood of Chula Vista. Resources were quickly deployed to apprehend the suspects.

Three vehicle stops were conducted just as the suspects attempted to flee the area. All five suspects were arrested for conspiracy to commit burglary. Investigators recovered approximately $50,000 in stolen jewelry and purses, which had been taken from the victim’s residence.

Additionally, the suspects were in possession of a handgun, which had been stolen from a safe in the residence.

Further investigation showed that this crew was in possession of burglary tools, vehicle-tracking equipment, and trail cameras.

All five subjects arrested were adults between the ages of 32 and 48 years old. The subjects were booked into San Diego County Jail and are currently awaiting court proceedings.
