Authorities say four men have been arrested after being found sleeping in a California garage stacked with stolen property.
Pomona police Lt. Alex Rilloraza says officers discovered the suspects Friday while investigating the robbery of electronics from a nearby home.
They followed messy footprints from the ransacked home down an alley to a garage. There, officers said, they found the burglary suspects asleep amidst piles of stolen goods.
Rilloraza says some of the stolen items were in the suspects' pockets.
The house next to the garage was believed to be the home of at least one of the suspects.
Police identified the suspects as Salvador Escobedo Jr., 20; Rudi Almaguer, 23; Paul Drake, 22; and Jose Vian, 18.
All were being held on $50,000 bail.
The men, all Pomona residents, are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.
