Commercial Burglaries - Suspect Arrested

On July 21, 2017, a commercial burglary occurred at the Pet Club located at 55 S. Country Club. Detectives obtained video surveillance footage of this crime and issue an attempt to identify bulletin with photos obtained from surveillance footage.

On July 26, 2017, a Mesa Police officer made contact with, and ultimately detained a subject who matched the description of the bulletin. Upon further investigation, the male suspect confessed to the commercial burglary and to a total of 8 commercial burglaries that had occurred in the downtown area over the past 2 weeks.

The suspect, a 17-year-old male, has been referred to the Juvenile Court system for 7 counts of burglary and 1 count of attempted burglary. Thanks to the great work by all involved, many of the stolen items have been returned and the suspect will no longer be committing burglaries in the downtown area.
