Mesa Police Department - Media Release
Residential burglar arrested by Mesa Police
The Mesa Police Department arrested a suspect who
was responsible for five residential burglaries and
a vehicle burglary all within a few square miles.
After an extensive search by Mesa Police, 18
year-old Abel Angel Ramos-Armendariz was arrested on
October 26, 2007 inside a residence hiding
underneath a pile of clothes in the area of 900 S.
MacDonald in Mesa.
In all six incidents Abel entered through a
window after forcing the window open. He would then
enter and ransack the residence looking for valuable
items and cash throughout the residence. Abel stated
during his interview to detectives he later sold or
pawned the items he stole.
Mesa Police Detectives have been able to
forensically link Abel to all six burglaries.
According to detectives, since July they have
noticed an increase of residential burglaries in
neighborhoods along 8th Avenue from Extension to
Horne. Detectives stated in many of police reported
residential burglaries from that area the method of
operation was similar to the cases Abel has been
charged in. Detectives expect to uncover more
residential and vehicle burglaries and link them to
Abel through ongoing investigations.
The total amount of damage and value of items
stolen by Abel are at least $8,000.
This investigation was a job well done by all at
the Dobson Patrol Division.
Mesa Police want to provide you with a few crime
prevention tips to prevent your house from being
burglarized:
- Make sure you have locks in or around your
windows and doors to prevent them from being
forced open.
- Close all your windows and doors when away
from home and if you are home make sure the only
windows and/or doors open are in the room you
are occupying.
- Know who your neighbors are and report any
suspicious person/s or activity you see.
