Last Thursday, a collaborative effort between law enforcement agencies resulted in the arrest of three suspects allegedly involved in a residential burglary. Glendale officers were called to the 1500 block of Parkway Drive, where a burglary had been reported, as detailed by the City of Glendale.
Meanwhile, with uncanny timing, Burbank Police stopped a vehicle on suspicions raised by its fake temporary California license plate. Searching the car, they found a mini arsenal of burglary paraphernalia: jewelry, high-end handbags, and a wad of cash, along with several cellphones, masks, gloves, and miscellaneous license plates that clearly didn't belong. The Burbank officers, who had their ears tuned in to the Glendale law enforcement radio frequencies, made the connection to the burglary report, according to the City of Glendale.
Arrested at the scene were Mia Sanchez Martinez, 25, Jose Basaure Aviles, 20, and Luis Gomez Gomez, 25. The trio, all foreign nationals, found themselves facing charges from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for burglary in the wake of what appears to be a thwarted continuation of their illicit activities.
The events leading to these arrests showcase a success story in inter-departmental cooperation. As stated by the City of Glendale, "Collaboration and partnership are critical to protecting our communities."
