The four men were arrested with a surveillance device camouflaged with fake leaves that police say was freshly pulled out of a planter in the residential neighborhood.
Glendale police arrested a group of Colombian nationals this week who are suspected of being part of a South American 'burglary tourism' ring operating in Los Angeles County. The four men were pulled over during a traffic stop Monday evening in the Emerald Isle neighborhood shortly after 10:30 p.m., the Glendale Police Department announced in a news release.
During the call, police were involved in a high-speed pursuit with the suspects, who eventually drove their car off the shoulder of a freeway exit, according to camera footage from a police vehicle involved in the pursuit. During the pursuit, the suspects in the car tried to get rid of stolen items and a device used to interrupt the Wi-Fi signals used with home security systems, according to police. Martinez Vargas and 45-year-old William Guanume were in the car and taken into custody.
