On January 18, 2015 at approximately 2:40 a.m.Oro Valley responded to the Walgreens at Lambert and La Canada in reference to a burglary alarm. Officers arrived on scene within a few minutes and observed a male leaving the business and running towards the rear of the business. After a short foot pursuit he was taken into custody. Officers found the front door glass smashed in and several packs of cigarettes and alcohol on the ground of the Walgreens.
There were a total of four suspects in this burglary. The suspects were wearing dark clothing, hooded sweatshirts and ski masks. OVPD Criminal Investigations Unit responded and were able to identify all the suspects in this case. All four suspects have been arrested and charged with burglary, criminal damage and possession of burglary tools. Due to the fact that all four suspects are minors their names and photos are being withheld.
One of these suspects is connected to a burglary that occurred at this same business in December of 2014. Charges are pending on this incident. These investigations are on-going and we are asking the public if you have any additional information that may assist OVPD with these cases to please call 88-crime, 911 or (520) 229-4900 and ask for Detective Cruce.
