A 20-year-old Redlands man was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of burglary and attempted burglary in connection with thefts at three marijuana collectives in Murrieta, authorities said.
Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested Jose Ramon Vidrio after he allegedly used a brick to smash the front window of the Disabled American Veterans Collective in Murrieta. The window did not shatter, however, and the owner of the collective chased the suspect.
Vidrio jumped into his car and tried to drive away but slammed into a parked motor home, according to a statement released by the Sheriff’s Department. An “altercation” between the collective owner and suspect ensued, and the owner was able to detain Vidrio until deputies arrived.
Investigators said Vidrio also was responsible for burglaries at neighboring marijuana collectives, the New Life Dispensary and the Chronic Relief Collective Dispensary, that occurred about the same time.
