On Wednesday, police announced they arrested Carlos Guerra, 46, for the crimes. Guerra faces multiple charges.

Shortly after the burglaries, neighbors banded together to help stop Guerra from attacking again. One woman caught the suspect hopping a fence onto their property.

The suspect was seen rummaging around for 15 minutes before leaving with a bag full of items, and then he rode away on his bicycle.
