Thursday, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office arrested three suspects involved in a vehicle burglary ring. Spokesman Jon Paxton says, recently, three separate vehicle burglaries were reported in the Timberline neighborhood, north of Flagstaff. He says several firearms and credit cards were taken. Detectives were able to track the credit cards through use at local businesses and identify three potential suspects. Very early Thursday morning, Sedona Police responded to a report of a burglary at Thai Palace in Uptown Sedona. Three suspects were observed by officers and fled on foot from the scene leaving a vehicle behind. A search warrant was served on the vehicle and information was obtained identifying three 18-year old residents of Flagstaff; Kaiden Cox, Jonathan Hernandez, and Hipolito Zavala Molina as suspects. That afternoon, Sheriff’s Office Detectives located the three suspects and served search warrants. Stolen property was located at each of the suspects’ residences including four firearms, two stolen vehicles, and electronic equipment. Paxton says the three men are suspects in additional burglaries within the City of Flagstaff. The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind the community to lock their vehicle when unattended and secure valuables out of sight if being stored inside the vehicle.
