Third Man Being Sought in Grand Terrace Car Burglary

GRAND TERRACE – Police are searching for a man who is believed to have been part of a vehicle burglary ring.

One day after arresting Brandon Michael Hill, 27, and Lindsay Loza, 24, on suspicion of trying to burglarize a vehicle in the early morning hours of Jan. 19, police are also trying to find Joshua Art, 21.

Deputies responded to the report of a vehicle burglary in progress on Jan. 19 at 2:29 a.m. at the 11800 block of Mt. Vernon Ave. The victim, according to reports, said his wife had found an unknown white male in their car. When the victim confronted the suspect, later identified as Art, reports are that he fled on foot.

The victim chased Art into a nearby tree-lined area where he disappeared into the night. Deputies arrived, then canvassed the area. They located Hill in the tree area, found in possession of burglary tools. Eventually, deputies located the vehicle that the suspects arrived in, discovering Loza, who was waiting Art and Hill.

Loza was found in possession of 30-mg Oxycontin pill, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Both Hill and Loza were arrested for conspiracy while Loza was arrested for possession of illegal narcotics. Both men were booked into Central Detention Center. They will be due in court on Wednesday, Jan. 21. Among the charges include conspiracy, possession of burglary tools and, in Hill’s case, having a previous conviction.

Hill’s bail is a combined $30,000 on all counts, according to court records. Art, meanwhile, is still being sought by law enforcement.
