VISTA, Calif. — A man was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of multiple burglaries in North County, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said.
On Sunday, Sep. 4, at approximately 7:30 p.m., deputies responded to a reported commercial burglary in the 1600 block of South Melrose Drive in Vista.
Deputies found that a business had been broken into, with two cash registers being stolen, Sgt. Alfred Gathings said in a news release. The amount of cash stolen from the business has not yet been determined.
During their investigation, authorities determined that a suspect had went to an apartment complex in the 1500 block of Live Oak Road after the burglary.
Authorities were able to locate Victor Diaz, 37, inside the complex with the help a K9 unit and the sheriff’s ASTREA helicopter. He was taken into custody without incident, Gathings said.
