SANTA ANA – Monday night the SAPD received a call about a burglary in progress and they responded to a local condo.
Two residents came upon a strange man inside of their residence. They noticed a desk had been moved and a window screen had been removed.
When the suspect saw the resident, he said nothing but put his index finger over his mouth so as to imply that the victim remain silent.
The victims then locked themselves in their bathroom and call 911. The suspect fled and responding police deployed a K9 to assist in the search. However, they were unable to locate the suspect…that day.
Early on Wednesday morning the SAPD received another prowler call in the same complex and same residence. This time authorities were able to locate and detain 26-year-old Isaias Varga-Martinez. He was identified by the victims as the prowler/burglar.
Vargas-Martinez was booked into jail and charged with burglary.
