Burglars targeted religious institutions in O.C., police say - lookout Churches! 1-877-700-BAIL (2245)


Irvine police this week arrested two men suspected of burglarizing a number of religious institutions across Orange County.
In January, investigators identified Robert Dennis, 45, of Santa Ana, from DNA found at a burglarized temple in Irvine, according to police.
After searching a Garden Grove home connected to Dennis, police identified two more suspects: Fernando Flores, 21, of Garden Grove, and James Dorscht, 39, of Norwalk, authorities said.
Detectives found Dennis and Flores on Wednesday at a commercial complex near Fairview Street and Trask Avenue in Santa Ana. The two men allegedly had burglary tools, a shotgun and a billy club in the car with them.
Security video of the burglaries allegedly shows Dorscht, Flores, Dennis and a fourth suspect, Daniel Cortez.
Santa Ana police arrested Cortez last week, but law enforcement agencies are still looking for Dorscht, a parolee, police said.
Dennis was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of burglary tools, possession of a dangerous weapon and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Flores was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, theft of a firearm and possession of a dangerous weapon. The two were being held at Orange County Jail.
