Three men believed to be part of an “organized burglary crew” were arrested earlier this month after allegedly burglarizing a home in Kingstowne.
Officers responded to the 6500 block of Kelsey Point Circle on Sept. 17 after a resident returned home to find the domicile “left in disarray” and the theft of approximately $30,000 worth of property, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
An investigation pointed law enforcement in the direction of the three suspects, whose alleged getaway vehicle was found in Alexandria.
“Evidence believed to be stolen from the Kingstowne home was recovered,” the FCPD said, “along with items consistent with an organized burglary crew, including a license plate flipping device, cell phone and Wi-Fi jammers used to disrupt security cameras, window punches, and additional burglarious tools.”
Police announced yesterday (Tuesday) that they have arrested and charged 27-year-old Heller Roncancio Espitia, 29-year-old Nicolay Cubillos Pacheco and 38-year-old Saul Guadalupe Gonzalez in connection with the Kingstowne burglary.
Each of the men faces one count each for statutory burglary, grand larceny, possession of stolen property with intent to sell and possession of burglarious tools.
The three suspects are also connected to similar offenses in “multiple states across the country,” according to FCPD.
“Their arrests help bring closure to several ongoing investigations beyond Fairfax County,” police said.
