Transients Held on Suspicion of Burglarizing Tustin Home

Orange County sheriff’s deputies arrested two transients on suspicion of burglarizing a Tustin home Sunday, authorities said.

The deputies credited an alert Tustin man, who heard someone breaking into a neighbor’s home, with foiling the burglary. Sheriff’s Lt. Larry Richey said the homeowners were away for the weekend.

Deputies called to the scene arrested Dolores Rio Aguayo, 46, and Johnny David Aguayo, 53, about half a block from the residence in the 1900 block of Burnt Mill Road. Both were booked on suspicion of residential burglary and were being held in the Orange County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. Richey said there was no known address for either suspect.

Richey said the Tustin man, whose name was withheld, was outside gardening when he heard the sound of glass breaking at his neighbor’s home at about 1:45 p.m. Sunday. When deputies responded to the call, Johnny Aguayo was walking down the driveway of the neighbor’s home to get into a car driven by Dolores Aguayo, the deputies said.

Richey said the home had been “ransacked.” Because the neighbors were away for the weekend, he said it was not known what was missing. He said the car driven by the Aguayos was impounded pending further investigation.
