Neighbor Tip Leads to 3 Arrests in Burbank Break-In

The case could clarify whether recent Valley break-ins involve connected crews.

Overview

  • Burbank police, alerted by a neighbor Sunday evening, arrested three men after a helicopter, a K-9, and a perimeter search found two suspects hiding on Jolley Drive.
  • Officers said one suspect was bitten by the police dog after refusing commands, and a third man matching the reported getaway car was detained.
  • Police named the men as Alan Rodriguez-Pulido, 34, Wilmar Castelblanco-Robles, 20, and Cristian Rios-Cuadros, 24, and booked them on residential burglary before sending the case to county prosecutors.
  • Detectives are evaluating whether the trio ties into the recent crew-style break-ins across the San Fernando Valley.
  • In a separate case in Panorama City, a family reported a home invasion where intruders threatened to shoot them and took jewelry, as LAPD increases patrols and deploys mobile tools like license plate readers and AI-equipped surveillance units.
