Irvine Police Arrest Suspect Caught on Video Breaking into Irvine Home

Irvine, Calif. (May 23, 2018) – The Irvine Police Department (IPD) has identified and arrested the suspect who was caught on video breaking into an Irvine home.

On September 18, 2017, a resident on the 800 block of Piccolo reported that her home had been broken into. Irvine Police Department detectives began an investigation at that time. Recently, detectives were able to obtain video from a neighbor that captures the suspect entering the home through a window. The suspect’s face is clearly seen on the video.

On Wednesday afternoon, the suspect turned himself in to police after he became aware that his image had been placed on IPD social media. Because of his age, the suspect’s name is not being released.
