On Sunday, January 04, 2026, at approximately 10:57 PM, a patrol sergeant from the Torrance Police Department was proactively patrolling the area of Iris Avenue and 227th Street when a vehicle driving in the area abruptly parked and the driver attempted to quickly distance himself from the vehicle. Additional units arrived on scene to contact the driver. A second subject was contacted in the vehicle.

One subject was covered in fresh foliage and appeared to be involved in the installation of covert surveillance systems commonly used for the purposes of committing residential burglaries. Both subjects were ultimately arrested for probable cause burglary, possession of burglary tools, and conspiracy. One of the subjects had multiple outstanding warrants out of North Carolina for theft, conspiracy, and financial crimes.
