Written by AARON CASTREJON | CityWatch Editor PASADENA - Two men arrested April 10 for a disturbance were later suspected of burglaries at an electronic repair shop and at several Pasadena schools.
Jesus Martinez Galarza, 20, and Freddy Solorio, 19, were arrested in the 300 block of South Lake Avenue after officers responded to a disturbance call. Officers discovered evidence linking both men to an electronics repair shop burglary in the 1000 block of East Green Street. One of the suspects received an injury consistent with lacerations caused by broken glass. Recent early-morning burglaries at several were committed when entry was made through broken windows. Laptops were taken at the schools, but they were not the only things taken. Pasadena Police detectives located and took blood evidence discovered on the broken glass from injuries sustained by one or more suspects, Pasadena Police said. “Pasadena Commercial Burglary Detective Thomas Blanchard questioned the two men and obtained statements under Miranda implicating their involvement in the school burglaries,” Pasadena Police said. Search warrants served at the suspects’ homes revealed stolen evidence from the Pasadena schools and electronics repair shop, Pasadena Police said, including laptops and cell phones. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed 12 felony counts on both Galarza and Solorio, including charges of Commercial Burglary and Felony Vandalism April 12. Galarza and Solorio’s arraignment was set for April 12. Galarza and Solorio’s bail was set at $120,000. The investigation is ongoing, Pasadena Police said. |
