SUMMARY: Deputies Arrest Twentynine Palms Burglary Suspect After Entering Occupied Bedroom Where Two Children Slept
On July 1, 2026, Deputy K. Ford of the Morongo Basin Station responded to multiple residential burglary-related incidents in the Twentynine Palms area. Deputy Ford first responded to the 7000 block of El Sol Avenue regarding a report of a male who reached through an exterior glass window and attempted to take a wallet located on an interior table. During the investigation, Deputy Ford located an open sliding glass window and a damaged screen consistent with the reported attempted burglary.
Deputies later responded to the 6000 block of Estrella Avenue regarding a male who removed a Ring camera from the exterior wall of a residence and fled the area. During the investigation, deputies reviewed surveillance footage from the Ring camera, which showed a male adult walking back and forth near the residence, concealing himself underneath a window, and removing the Ring camera from the wall before fleeing the area with the device.
While deputies were conducting an area check in an attempt to locate the suspect, Deputy Ford was notified of an additional burglary in the 6000 block of Aline Avenue. During the investigation, deputies learned a male wearing a cover over his head and pajama pants entered the residence through a rear sliding glass door. The suspect removed a blanket from the victim, opened a bedroom door leading into a room occupied by two juvenile residents. The suspect immediately fled the residence after being startled by the family's barking dog.
Through continued investigation, 24-year-old, Twentynine Palms resident Anthony Isaiah Irvin was identified as the suspect responsible for the related incidents. Irvin was contacted near the area of the reported burglaries on the same day. Evidence obtained during the investigation further linked Irvin to the residential burglaries.
Investigators authored an arrest and search warrant for Anthony Isaiah Irvin and his residence, which was approved by a magistrate within the Joshua Tree Superior Court. On Thursday, July 9, 2026, at approximately 11:34 p.m., detectives and deputies served the search warrant. During the warrant service, investigators located and arrested Irvin. While conducting their search, investigators located evidence directly related to the residential burglaries.
Irvin was subsequently booked at the Morongo Basin Jail and is currently being held on $500,000 bail.
