A man who was convicted of dozens of burglaries in San Jose was arrested on suspicion of more of them, police said Monday.
On Aug. 17 just before 5 a.m., officers responded to a report of vandalism of a business in the 3100 block of Senter Road. Investigators found that a man threw a brick through the front door of a business, “causing thousands worth in damages,” the department said. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
Detectives identified Jonny Miles, 42, as the suspect in that case. Investigators later linked Miles to an attempted burglary on Aug. 18 on East Capitol Expressway, where a rock was again thrown at a door that was then kicked down. The suspect fled the scene.
According to police, Miles was arrested in July, allegedly mid-burglary, on suspicion of three other burglaries. He was again arrested on Aug. 20 in San Jose on suspicion of burglary.
Miles was charged with 15 commercial burglaries in Santa Clara County in 2020, for which he served about two years in jail, according to police. After being released in 2023, he was then charged with 23 more burglaries and went back to jail until May of this year.
Miles was in custody as of Monday, being held on suspicion of burglary.
