Full Notification

Thursday morning, at approximately 11:00 A.M., Lancaster Station deputies located a vehicle theft suspect near the intersection of 50th Street West and West Avenue L-10 in Quartz Hill (unincorporated county area).

When the suspect saw the Deputies, he ran East into an apartment complex located in the 4800 block of West Avenue L-10. Once inside the complex, the suspect forced entry into two separate apartment units. One of units was occupied and the suspect exited the unit by jumping from the second story window. He was then seen running East through the complex. Deputies quickly contained the surrounding area and requested the assistance of a Sheriff’s K-9 unit.

When the K-9 unit arrived, the “search dog” led the Deputies to a third apartment that had been forcibly entered. The suspect was located inside and arrested. The suspect (Juan Moreno) was transported to a local hospital where he received treatment for dog bites as well as injuries he sustained after jumping from the window.

Moreno will be booked at Lancaster Station and faces several felony charges including, vehicle theft, burglary, and home invasion.
