West Covina Police Officers arrested a 50 year old La Puente man for burglary after witnesses reported seeing him in the neighborhood acting suspiciously. On Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at 1748 hours, several callers reported the suspect was seen driving around in the area of the 2200 block of W. Corak Street, West Covina. One caller stated he saw the suspect exit his vehicle and walk to the rear yard of one residence. When West Covina Officers arrived, they spotted the suspect in front of the location he was seen at and detained him. The location was checked and a screen to a rear window had been removed with the window open. The resident returned home during the investigation and confirmed that items from within the home had been moved and placed by the open window.
Arrested for suspicion of burglary was Salomon Rodriguez Ayub, 50 of La Puente. He is currently held at the LA County Jail with a bail set at $50,000.00.
