Police: Manhattan Beach burglary suspect is a parolee
A alleged burglar arrested on suspicion of breaking into a Manhattan Beach house is a parolee with a history of property crimes, police said Thursday.Jose Alberto Silva, 33, of Los Angeles recently was paroled from prison following a burglary conviction, Manhattan Beach police Officer Stephanie Martin said.
Silva was arrested Wednesday evening, shortly after a resident in the 700 block of 35th Street called police to report a break-in at his house.
The resident had returned at 5:45 p.m. to discover his home ransacked and several people inside.
The burglars fled, but Silva was captured nearby.
Several people called 911 to report seeing Silva's alleged accomplices running in the neighborhood.
Manhattan Beach police, along with Hawthorne's helicopter, and officers and dogs from Redondo Beach, Hawthorne, Torrance and El Segundo searched until 9:20 p.m. but could not find them.
Detectives are working to identify and arrest the other burglars, Martin said.
