Four men break in Arcadia home

Three 19 year-old and 20 year-old men from Long Beach and Irvine and a 21 year-old woman from Lakewood were arrested by Arcadia Police for staging a deception break-in Wednesday afternoon at the home of a female Arcadia resident in the 00 block of West Palm Drive Wednesday afternoon. All four have been arrested by Arcadia Police and booked on felony charges.

Police report that at about 1:40 p.m. on Jan. 29  a trio of men knocked on the front door of the residence but the female resident did not answer the door. One of the men made his way to the back sliding door and made entry to the home through the unlocked door. The resident saw the man inside the home and yelled at him. The suspect fled, along with his cohorts to an awaiting vehicle being driven by a female. The suspect vehicle and occupants left the area.

The victim immediately called the Arcadia Police Department and provided the vehicle and suspect descriptions to the police. A short time later, the vehicle and suspects were found by a patrol officer and stopped. During the investigation, officers found stolen property inside the suspect vehicle. The stolen property was ultimately identified as having been taken in an unrelated residential burglary in Los Angeles County earlier on the 29th. Electronics, jewelry, cash, and other items were recovered in the vehicle.

Mario D. Weiks, 19 year-old male from Irvine, Quatrelle J. Carroll, 19 year-old male from Long Beach, Milton K. Sanders, 20 year-old male from Long Beach, and Jasmin M. Douroux, a 21 year-old female from Lakewood, were all arrested and booked at the Arcadia City Jail on felony residential burglary charges with bails of $50,000.00 each.

The investigation is continuing by Detectives from the Arcadia and additional law enforcement agencies. Anyone with information related to this case is asked to call the Arcadia Police Department at (626)574-5156.
