For Immediate Release March 26, 2014
On March 26, 2014, at 9:59 am Bakersfield police officers were dispatched to a
residence in the 6200 block of Martinique Ct. regarding a burglary in progress. When
officers arrived they contacted an adult female resident who told them that while she
was home with her infant child, she heard a knock at the door. She said she didn’t
answer the door thinking that those knocking were solicitors. The knocking continued
and she looked out through the peep hole and observed three male subjects. She again
did not announce herself or answer the door. A short time later the suspects kicked
open the front door and entered the residence. The woman hid upstairs with her child
and she called her husband and police.
The woman’s husband, who had left just prior to the incident arrived home and
confronted the suspects who fled the residence. The husband slashed the passenger
side tires on the suspect vehicle and the suspects fled in the vehicle striking a parked
car in the 5600 block of Laurel Canyon Dr. as they fled. The suspects were able to drive
the vehicle to Panama Ln. just east of Ashe Rd. where it became disabled and the
suspects abandoned the vehicle and fled into the neighborhood on the southeast corner
of Panama Ln. and Ashe Rd. on foot.
At this point officers began arriving on scene and were able to apprehend two of the
suspects before they jumped over a fence into the backyard of residence. Those two
suspects were taken into custody without incident. The third suspect was able to make it
over the fence and conceal himself. Officers quickly established a perimeter around the
area and a police service dog was used to locate the third suspect who refused officers’
commands to surrender and was apprehended with the assistance of the police canine.
The third suspect was transported to an area hospital for treatment of minor dog bite
wounds.
