For the second time in one week video evidence from a resident was the critical component of a burglary arrest in the City of La Cañada Flintridge.

According to a Crescenta Valley Station press release, on Nov. 19 deputies responded to a report of a burglary in progress about 6 p.m. in the 200 block of Baptiste Way. The homeowner reported seeing via a home security system a suspect on the property. The suspect reportedly left the location on a bicycle.

Deputy Leon, according to the statement, responded and found a person matching the description that had been shared by the homeowner. The suspect was located on Alveo and Viro roads and was detained. After an investigation it appeared the suspect was the person seen on the video allegedly at the homeowner’s property. The suspect had a warrant for his arrest and was booked at the CV Station.

A working alarm system helped deputies on Nov. 14 when CV Sheriff’s Station received two calls concerning burglary alarm activations at two separate homes in the 500 block of Inverness. The suspect who was allegedly involved in those two burglaries was arrested.
