SUMMARY: On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, deputies from the Chino Hills Police Department responded to a residence in the 15700 block of Live Oak Road regarding a residential burglary. Upon arrival, deputies discovered signs of forced entry and found the interior of the residence ransacked.

Further investigation linked Villalobos to the October 20th burglary in Chino Hills and additional residential burglaries.

Detectives from Chino Hills recovered the stolen property and served a search warrant at a residence in Los Angeles, where they recovered additional evidence believed to be associated with the investigation. 

On Thursday, October 29, 2026, Chino Hills detectives obtained a $250,000 arrest warrant for Villalobos for burglary and conspiracy.  Villalobos remains in the custody of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office in connection with a separate burglary investigation and will be transported to San Bernardino County upon completion of his case in Ventura.
