Police arrested a 17-year-old Claremont resident involved in yesterday's hot prowl on Morningside Drive.
Yesterday around 2:15 a.m., a resident woke to the sound of noises in his home. He got up to inspect the cause of the noise and found a man in his 7-year-old daughter's bedroom.
He chased the suspect from the home and immediately called police. Police did an area check but were unable to immediately locate the suspect.
Based on forensic evidence found at the scene, police arrested the teenager at his home around 3:30 this afternoon. The 17-year-old lives less than a mile from the Morningside Drive home.
Police believe the juvenile entered the home on more than one occasion and are still trying to determine his motive. Nothing was ever reported stolen from the home.
He is currently being held at Los Padrinos juvenile detention center. Criminal charges should be filed by the DA's office soon.
Be sure to read Saturday's issue of the COURIER to learn more details of this unusual case.
