Contact:Christina Villalobos Police Undercover Operation Nets Arrest of Vehicle Burglary Suspect (NORTHRIDGE, Calif., April 4, 2006) - Cal State Northridge police have arrested a suspect in connection with a rash of motor vehicle burglaries that have hit the campus during the past month. Anthony Negreary, 22, of Northridge was arrested March 29 during an undercover operation by CSUN police officers. He was booked at the Los Angeles Police Department's Devonshire Division for burglary from a motor vehicle. As a result, the District Attorney's Office has charged Negreary with four felony counts of burglary. A search of Negreary's vehicle yielded burglary tools, property and illegal drugs. Negreary, who is not a CSUN student, gave officers consent to search his residence, and they found additional stolen property from past CSUN burglaries. The CSUN undercover operation came in response to more than 25 motor vehicle burglaries that have been reported in university parking lots and parking structures in recent weeks. "This problem has occupied us for more than a month," said CSUN Police Chief Anne Glavin. "Our officers have been frustrated with the frequency of the break-ins. But this undercover apprehension solves several cases and makes a dent in solving the broader problem." During their investigation, CSUN detectives linked Negreary to at least four vehicle burglaries on campus and believe he is connected to others. CSUN detectives are working closely with LAPD detectives to clear similar, unsolved cases. Said CSUN Operations Capt. Scott VanScoy, "The number of CSUN police personnel, both sworn and non-sworn, involved in addressing this problem is indicative of a great tactical operation. Teamwork was the key." |
