The next day, the owner of a storage facility said their business on SE 6th Street had been burglarized. Among the items taken was a custom car trailer. Madras Police say officers were called to the same location later that night for a burglary in progress, but the burglar was able to get away.
Then on Saturday at 12:09 a.m., officers from multiple agencies responded to a burglary alarm on SE D Street and captured Arce has he ran from the building, police said.
Madras Police say evidence obtained during the investigation linked Arce to all of the burglaries.
