Video shows a burglary suspect in Scripps Ranch and 4S Ranch break-ins, one week apart, wearing what appears to be similar clothesneighborhoods has left business owners reeling and police on the lookout. Business owners believe the same person may be responsible for the crimes.Hector Davila’s daughter got a cellphone alert from the smart cameras at the store. They called the cops as they helplessly watched from home while the crime unfolded.
Davila says Monday was the second time his business and some others in Rancho Bernardo have been broken into in the past six weeks. The first for him was Sept. 13. Though the suspects were able to drag the safe to their getaway car on Monday, Davila says no money was inside. He says though they didn’t get away with store profits, he says the mounting cost of door repairs is tough to swallow for his 4-and-a-half-year-old family business that employs some of his kids.
