On April 13, 2012, at approximately 3:00 p.m., officers from the Cypress Police Department were dispatched to a residence located in the 8600 block of Watson Street regarding a residential burglary that had just occurred. The victim told officers she observed a male suspect inside of her home and he fled with a laptop that had been in an upstairs bedroom along with a key ring containing keys to her vehicle and residence. The victim was able to provide a detailed description of the suspect as well as a description of his vehicle including its license plate number.
The suspect and vehicle description was broadcast to surrounding police agencies and the suspect vehicle was observed moments later by a La Palma police officer. The vehicle was surveilled by officers for approximately one hour before the suspect returned to the vehicle. Kris Do Young Shin (10-26-80) was arrested for residential burglary and possession of stolen property. A search of the suspect’s vehicle revealed the stolen laptop and keys from the earlier burglary as well as additional property that is believed to be stolen.
The case is being investigated by detectives from the Cypress Police Department. If you have any information regarding the crime, please contact the Cypress Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Bureau at 714-229-6631.
