UPDATE: Burglar eludes Torrance police, and isn't much of a catch anyway

Police have ended their search for a burglary suspect -- who doesn't seem like much of an honorable boyfriend -- in Torrance.

Cops had established a perimeter from Nadine Circle to Fonthill Avenue and 226th Street to Sepulveda Boulevard about 11:40 a.m., and brought in dogs and a helicopter. The search ended about 2 p.m.

The man had dashed from a car that an officer pulled over in the 2900 block of Sepulveda Boulevard. It turned out that the car contained stolen property from a just-committed burglary.

Although the guy took off and the cops couldn't find him, this knight in shining armor left his girlfriend behind. What a great guy.

So, Florida Taylor, 23, of Rosemead, is in jail on suspicion of burglary. She's also in violation of her probation, and apparently she's talking.

Police know her boyfriend's name. They'll get him before long.
