Sierra Vista Police said the first crime was committed at about 3:10 a.m. on Monday, September 4, when the suspect stole a laptop from High Desert Dentistry, located at 5100 E. Hwy 90. Then, on the same day at 8:20 p.m., the same suspect forced entry into the office of Suncrest Apartments, located at 105 Toscanini Ave., and stole a set of keys and some canceled checks.

Then, on Wednesday, Sept. 6, at about 2 a.m., the suspect forced entry into the McDonald’s located at 1200 E. Fry Blvd. and attempted to break into the cash registers. The final crime occurred that same day at about 8:40 a.m. when the suspect forced entry into Lee’s Auto Sales at 1200 E. Fry Blvd. The suspect then removed two sets of keys and stole a 2014 Dodge Dart by driving it through the fence to the south, fleeing the scene, according to SVPD.
