A burglar in Oceanside didn’t run, but evidently he tried to hide Friday. It didn’t work, though, thanks to a drone and a service dog.
Police used a remote-controlled camera to find the suspected burglar holed up inside a ceiling crawlspace at a business in the 1900 block of Mission Avenue after an alarm sounded, according to the Oceanside Police Department.
Officers spotted the suspect inside, but they didn’t immediately catch up with the intruder during a search of the building. But with help from a sheriff’s service-dog unit, they came to believe he had hidden above the ceiling, Lt. Michael Provence said.
Using a drone, they eventually found him, according to police.
“The suspect appeared to be feigning sleep and nearly fell through the ceiling while attempting to remain concealed,” Provence said, adding that officers were able to safely get him down him down without incident.
Karlos Jordon 36, of Oceanside, was booked into county jail in Vista on suspicion of burglary and an outstanding warrant. He may face additional charges. Investigators believe he may be connected to other burglaries in the area, the lieutenant said.
