An alert Palos Verdes Estates resident who called police to report a parked vehicle she did not recognize and two suspicious males who had approached a neighbor’s door led to the capture of Leonardo Estrada, 23, of Signal Hill, according to the Daily Breeze.

Officers, who arrived approximately two minutes after the call, stopped a vehicle and arrested the driver. A nearby home was found ransacked with a side window to the residence smashed. Police found stolen goods outside the home. Two alleged accomplices escaped.
