SUMMARY

Chino Hills detectives arrested three men for burglary Tuesday after the suspects ransacked a home in Chino Hills and fled to Orange County, leading officers on a high speed pursuit which ended with the suspects losing control and crashing in the city of Orange.

Eddie Nguon and Michael and Polyhana Mao were arrested Tuesday night for the burglary of a home in the 14800 block of Country Creek and attempted burglary of a house on Royal Ridge Court in Chino Hills.

The suspects first targeted a home in the 3400 block of Royal Ridge Court. An alert witness saw the suspects ring the doorbell repeatedly and then enter the backyard. The witness was able to get a detailed description of the suspects and a license plate of the vehicle, which was a light silver BMW.

About 15 minutes later, another call of suspicious circumstances came out in the south end of the city. As detectives arrived in the neighborhood they saw the suspect vehicle. Detectives followed the suspect vehicle in an unmarked unit to Orange County, via the 71, 91 and 55 freeways, while waiting for marked units to assist with a traffic stop.

The suspects exited the 55 Freeway South at Chapman Avenue in Orange as CHP officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The suspect vehicle led officers on a pursuit back on the 55 Freeway northbound and exited Katella Avenue. The pursuit continued through the city of Orange and ended with the suspect losing control and crashing in a residential neighborhood. Orange Police Department and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department also assisted in the apprehension of the suspects. Chino Hills detectives took the lead on the case and transported the suspects to the Chino Hills Station to further the investigation.



Detectives recovered thousands of dollars worth of US savings bonds, US currency, jewelry and electronics from the suspect’s vehicle. The victim of the burglary on Country Creek Court was able to identify all the stolen property. Detectives also recovered three sets of gloves and burglary tools from the suspect vehicle.

All three suspects were arrested and booked into West Valley Detention Center for charges of burglary and attempted burglary. California Highway Patrol was the lead agency regarding the evading charges.

Despite the actions of the suspects, nobody was injured in the commission of the burglaries, the pursuit or the subsequent traffic collision.
