Sheriff’s deputies arrested a trio of alleged car burglars in La Cañada Flintridge last Friday, and now they’re looking to find the rightful owners of the burglars’ loot.
Detective Rodger Burt said that the three men were caught in a car on Ocean View Boulevard around 2:30 a.m. Dec. 2 after the suspects committed a rash of vehicle burglaries and thefts. Burt said that he was able to link the men to two burglaries and five thefts through property recovered from their vehicle, but he thinks there are victims he has yet to identify that are still missing property.
“I was able to find some people, and then I found they didn’t even report these things, which tells me there’s probably a lot more people that didn’t report crimes that night, and we have their property,” Burt said.
