RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Two men suspected of breaking into a construction storage container and stealing multiple electrical and construction materials were arrested Thursday, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies from the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station responded around 6:35 a.m. on Feb. 24 to reports of a burglary at a business in the 72000 block of Frank Sinatra Drive.
Investigators from the station’s Robbery and Burglary Suppression Team identified 29-year-old Armando Jamaica of Riverside and 44-year-old Fabian Arias of Perris as suspects. Deputies worked with the Rancho Mirage Special Enforcement Team, Problem-Oriented Policing Team, K-9 Unit, and Aviation Unit to apprehend them.
Arias was located on Hudson Street in Riverside, and Jamaica on 13th Street in Perris. Both were booked into the John Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of burglary, grand theft, felony vandalism, theft with prior convictions, conspiracy, and possession of stolen property.
Search warrants executed at the 1500 block of Marigold Drive in Perris and the 5400 block of Felspar near Riverside led to the recovery of the stolen materials.
