CHULA VISTA
Police officers responding to a burglary alarm found a 25-year-old man in a Chula Vista bank and arrested him on suspicion of breaking in and prying open cash drawers early Thursday.
Police were alerted to the alarm at the Wells Fargo bank on Broadway near Oxford Street about 2:10 a.m. Security cameras at the bank showed a burglar rummaging in drawers behind counters, police said.
Officers found a shattered window and broken glass on the ground. They saw the man inside and watched him until they could safely contact him, Lt. Miriam Foxx said. They arrested him without a struggle.
