Chino police arrest five on suspicion of daylight home burglary

Chino Police arrested five suspects in connected to a suspected home burglary.
Police responded to the 12900 block of Cambridge Court to a report of unknown trouble at a residence on Thursday at 10 a.m., according to Chino spokeswoman Michelle Van Der Linden.

The investigation revealed two suspects attempting to force entry into a private residence, she said. The home owner witnessed the suspect's actions and began yelling before the suspects fled from the house on foot over a nearby fence, she said.

During an area check, police found two suspects waiting in a vehicle near the scene of the attempted burglary, who were then detained by police.

This contact led officers to a residence where an additional burglary suspect was located. During a search of that home, two more suspects were located and were detained, making a total arrest of five adults on suspicion of attempted burglary.

Chino Police arrested Amber Gray, 23, of Los Angeles; Misty Tresvant, 34, of Los Angles, Tristan Morris, 18, of Inglewood; and Richard Junior Perry, 19, of Los Angeles. Kent Joshawn McFarland, 21, of Los Angeles, was also arrested on suspicion of attempted burglray and parole violation, police said.

The investigation also led to nearby Magnolia Junior High School to go in to lockdown at 10:30 a.m. Friday while police searched the surrounding neighborhood for residential burglary suspects. The lockdown lasted about 55 minutes, said school district spokeswoman Julie Gobin.

There was no police activity on campus, she said. All gates were locked and movement was restricted for anyone trying to enter or exit the campus during the event, officials said.
Magnolia called a school-wide lockdown last week as police were searching for a man who was reported to be armed and walking in the surrounding neighborhood.
