Police said that since January 2023, two to three suspects have entered back yards of victims and forced their way into homes, while another suspect waited in a getaway vehicle. At times, there was a second vehicle that acted as a lookout, police said.
The thieves took property that included jewelry, purses, watches and money. Detectives' investigative leads connected Bolton to the crimes, police said.
"The presence of surveillance video was instrumental in piecing these crimes together and helped to solidify the criminal case filings for Bolton," the LAPD said. "We are releasing the suspect's photograph because we believe he is responsible for additional burglaries."
