The Santa Paula Police Department has arrested a man suspected of multiple burglaries.

On Friday, March 22, detectives were investigating an attempted vehicle burglary on Coronado Circle and were able to identify Eric Caples ,41, as the suspect after reviewing home surveillance video.

Caples was arrested on Monday for the incident and violating his parole terms and conditions.

Officials also found Caples was in possession of stolen property, which was returned to the owner.

Investigators also connected Caples to two other 2018 cases where he was identified as the suspect in an unrelated vehicle burglary as well as a separate case using a stolen credit card.

Caples could face charges of attempted burglary, burglary, possession of stolen property, unlawful use of a credit card, and parole violation.
