A drone was overhead at the moment police found a burglary suspect trying to get away by running into open space in Irvine. The suspect surrendered peacefully to officers.
Irvine police say they chased down Riley and Jones after being called to check into a report of a suspicious vehicle parked in the neighborhood of Quail Hill. Inside the vehicle, police say the officers found a two-way radio and a loaded ghost handgun.
Moments later, a homeowner on Canyon Creek reported two men wearing masks approaching their home who ran off when the resident yelled out through their surveillance system. Officers searched the area, and with the help of an Anaheim police helicopter and Irvine's drone team, the two men were found. Jones was released Sunday after posting bail, while Riley bailed out Monday. A court date has not been scheduled for either of them.
Police say detectives are looking into whether they have a connection to a May 1 home burglary in the adjacent Shady Canyon neighborhood. Anyone with information about the suspects or these break-ins can contact Detective Eric Weber at 724-7245 or via email at
