Temecula Man Arrested in Connection to Local Burglary, Vandalism Spree

A 24-year-old man suspected of committing a burglary and vandalism spree in Temecula earlier this month has been arrested, authorities said Friday.

Darrius Jerrod Frye of Temecula was arrested on Thursday, according to Sgt. Geoffrey Green of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

After authorities received multiple burglary and vandalism calls in the 28600 block of Old Town Front Street in early July, witness statements and a review of video surveillance eventually led investigators to Frye, Green said.
