Occurred on 12/19/11, 02:27 a.m.   Burglary of a Business   5433 S. Staples   1112190014   

An Officer in the area of Mr. Nice Guys responded to an alarm call in which the alarm company reported the sounds of glass breaking could be heard.

Upon his arrival, the Officer observed a male hastily walking away from the business toward his parked green van.  The Officer contacted Robby Barrera Jr. (09/16/91) who was bleeding from a small laceration to his hand.

Further investigation revealed that Barrera had attempted to burglarize the business by smashing the display window on the east side of the building. The suspect’s “high hopes” were dashed by the Officer’s quick arrival.

Barrera was arrested and charged with Burglary of a Building and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia when a glass pipe was found in the van.

The business was secured by the owner.
