After a funeral at a San Diego military cemetery last fall, a mourner found that someone had broken into their vehicle and swiped a purse and credit cards.A suspect in that case is linked to at least 10 car break-ins and subsequent shopping sprees across the region, sheriff’s Deputy Nicholas Hvizdzak said Tuesday.The theft series started in October 2021, he said. Authorities have two suspects — a man and a woman.
“They are pretty brazen in the sense that they are just smashing the window and getting out of there,” the sheriff’s investigator said. “They move quickly.” One suspect is described as a Latino man who appears to be in his 40s, about 5-feet, 10-inches tall with a heavy build and a goatee. He has multiple tattoos on his arms and hands. On some occasions, he wore a black-and-white striped hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and black-and-white Adidas shoes.
