4 Held in Connection With 50 Burglaries
Four people were arrested at a North Hollywood motel in connection with as many as 50 residential burglaries in the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.
Michael Mills, 39, of North Hollywood; Bradita Taliano, 35, of San Fernando; Bonnie Meyer, 28, of Newhall, and Alfredo Lopez, 32, of San Fernando were arrested Monday night at a motel in the 112500 block of Vanowen Street near Beck Avenue after an investigation spanning several months, Deputy Donna Levi said.
Deputies followed Mills to the motel, where they arrested the other three, Levi said. All four were under the influence of heroin at the time of their arrest, Levi said.
Mills and Meyer were being held without bail on charges of grand theft and receiving stolen goods. Taliano was arrested on charges of auto theft and receiving stolen goods. Lopez was arrested on burglary charges, Levi said.
The group is suspected of committing about 35 burglaries in Agua Dulce and Acton and another 15 burglaries in the Santa Clarita area, Levi said.
