Irvine police bust alleged organized residential burglary ring
Five people believed to be linked to multiple Southern California residential burglaries and part of a transnational organized crime ring, were arrested by Irvine police on Thursday. An Easter Sunday traffic stop by an Irvine police officer led to the investigation and arrests of four men and a woman. Irvine Police Department Chief Michael Kent said organized burglary crews are a growing threat across the state and nation. "These groups are highly adaptable, well-coordinated, and often target affluent communities, moving quickly from city to city," he said Irvine police shared home surveillance footage from two incidents involving the suspects, who disguised themselves as Amazon delivery drivers and other workers. On April 20, a man called the police after getting alerts from his home surveillance showing unknown people inside his residence. Police arrived and found the home ransacked, with shoes, jewelry, and designer purses reported stolen. A patrol officer made a traffic stop shortly after the burglary call, and the driver said he was delivering food to a customer but could not provide the address where he delivered it. During a search of his car, police found suspicious items that led officers to believe he may be involved in criminal activity. The driver was arrested for being unlicensed. He was identified as 24-year-old Fontana resident, Jhon Osorioarias. Police said that further investigation linked Osorioarias to an organized burglary crew. Over the past month, police said they conducted daily surveillance of the crew and were able to connect them to other burglaries throughout Southern California. On Friday, police arrested the following suspects in Fontana: Jesus Hernandezchavez, 42, John Fredy Sanabria, 42, Fontana, Duber Salarte, 48, Fontana, and Isneidy Ortiz Valencia, 29, Colton. All suspects were booked at the Orange County Jail on various charges, including burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, and possession of narcotics.

Irvine Police seek man accused of using selfie stick to peer into young girl's room
Police are seeking the public's help in identifying a man caught on video allegedly using a selfie stick to peer into a young girl's bedroom in Irvine. According to the Ring footage that the Irvine Police Department released on Wednesday, the video was taken on Oct. 16, 2024, and police said the home is located on Gulfstream Street. 'We would like to speak with this man who is suspected of using an expandable pole (selfie stick) and cell phone to look into a female juvenile's bedroom,' the Irvine Police Department said in a Facebook post on Feb. 5. In the video provided to KTLA, the man appears to be wearing black glasses, a black and white Adidas jacket, a black shirt, either black or navy Adidas pants, and black sneakers. The footage shows the unidentified man lifting the selfie stick – with a phone attached – above the ceiling line, pulling it down, glancing at the footage, and repeating this at least one more time before he seemingly walks away. Details are limited, but in the comments of the #WantedWednesday Facebook post, Irvine Police said it was the resident's camera that captured the man. 'They do not know him, which is why we want to talk to him,' the department said in a reply to a comment by someone who was wondering if he had just been taking pictures of the rain gutters. Irvine Police asks if anyone believes they can be of assistance in this case, to please get in touch with cvoors@ Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
