Costa Mesa police arrested a 23-year-old Orange man Monday morning on

suspicion of burglarizing a local home, officials said.

A resident on Tulip Lane saw Carlos Rodriguez Sanchez jump out of the

back window of her home in the 100 block about 10:45 a.m., said Costa

Mesa Police Lt. Dale Birney.

“She was coming into her home when she saw the suspect jump out the

window,” he said. Either the resident or the passerby saw Sanchez get

into a gray truck and drive away, Birney said.

Officers responding to the call spotted a truck matching the

description in the 2100 block of Newport Boulevard, made a stop and

arrested Sanchez, he said. In the truck, they found property not

belonging to Sanchez, Birney said.

The resident, whose name was not released by the police, identified

the suspect and also some of her property that was reportedly stolen.

Sanchez is being held in Costa Mesa jail in lieu of a $25,000 bail.
