Posted by CotoBlogzz


Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. – On Monday, July 21, 2014, Orange County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residential burglary in-progress in the Rossmoor community.  As deputies arrived, two male subjects fled on foot from the rear of the residence, jumping over fences onto the property of adjacent homes in the neighborhood.  After coordination of responding deputies, two male juveniles were detained and taken into custody for residential burglary.

The informant to the Sheriff’s Department was a 14 year-old female who was inside the residence when the two male juveniles attempted to make entry through several doors and windows.  The 14 year-old hid inside a bedroom closet and called 911,

The suspects were arrested and booked into Orange County Juvenile Hall.
