The Sierra Vista Police Department has arrested a suspect in the case of a hamburglar who carried out a string of burglaries at three fast-food joints on the same street Monday.
August R. Atencio, 24, turned himself in Wednesday, two days after police called on the public’s help to search for him, according to a news release from Sierra Vista Police.
The first burglary took place about 12:30 a.m. Monday at a Carl’s Jr. on Fry Boulevard, followed by the second burglary at approximately 2 a.m. at the McDonald’s there, and the third at around 2:40 a.m. at the Wendy’s, police said.
In each of the burglaries, Atencio followed the same pattern — getting into the restaurants through the drive-thru window and stealing money from the cash registers, Sierra Vista police said.
