Two suspects have been arrested in connection with about three dozen commercial burglaries last month in downtown Oceanside and the College Boulevard commercial area.
On Wednesday, investigators partnered with the Oceanside Police SWAT Team and served search warrants at multiple locations and recovered five stolen and illegal firearms, ammunition, high-capacity magazines, stolen checks and credit cards, as well as passports, identification cards and U.S. currency, the Oceanside Police Department said Wednesday.
“This coordinated effort led to the resolution of more than 35 burglary cases,” OPD said in an online statement.
“The suspects were booked on multiple felony charges, including grand theft, burglary, conspiracy, felon in possession of a firearm, prohibited person in possession of ammunition, and possession of stolen property.”
Police said reports from local businesses and surveillance footage led to the identification of the suspects.
The investigation revealed the suspects used a U-Haul truck during the burglaries, the department reported.
The suspects were not immediately identified.
