San Diego Police have confirmed the arrest of a 33-year-old man in connection with two burglaries that struck University City and 4S Ranch, along with a felony warrant. The suspect, identified as Robert Abduljabar Coleman, was apprehended yesterday morning near California State Road 56 and the Camino Del Sur exit, as reported by the San Diego Police Department's news release.
Detailed information about the burglaries, including the times and locations, came to light. The first burglary was reported at 3:30 a.m. at 16480 Paseo Del Sur, followed by another at 3851 Governor Drive around an hour later. Law enforcement actively worked to solve these crimes, and their efforts paid off when they were able to swiftly locate and ultimately arrest the suspect. According to the San Diego Police Department, the Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system was crucial in tracking the vehicles tied to the incidents.
Officers near the area responded immediately to the alerts, strategically placing themselves to intercept the suspect. During the pursuit, Coleman's vehicle spun out at the Camino Del Sur off-ramp from California State Road 56, leading to his arrest. Upon taking Coleman into custody, officers discovered a sledgehammer, among other evidence related to the alleged crimes.
The investigation is ongoing, and police have yet to establish connections between Coleman and other, possibly related, burglary incidents. Authorities encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward and contact the Northern Division Investigations at 619-552-1700 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. This act of civic engagement may greatly assist the San Diego Police Department in its ongoing efforts to thoroughly investigate and resolve these incidents fully.
