At about 2 p.m., sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in the 1900 block of the Oakville Grade, where surveillance cameras recorded two people breaking in with a crowbar, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Frank Walsh. Shortly afterward, a witness notified the sheriff’s office of another burglary in the 6400 block of Dry Creek Road, Walsh said.
Deputies were able to reach the second home in a few minutes, and encountered two men who had fled from the home into nearby brush, according to Walsh. The suspects, identified as 31-year-old Edgar Leonel Melgoza-Alvarado and 36-year-old Mayke Soriano-Bravo, were detained after a short foot pursuit, and were found with items that had been stolen from the Oakville Grade property, Walsh said.
