DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Ca. – A residential burglary suspect was arrested after an audible alarm alerted Desert Hot Springs Police to the 10000 block of Verbena Drive in the City of Desert Hot Springs.
On Sunday, August 25, 2019, at around 10:42 p.m., the homeowner called police to report that they could see a white male adult, wearing a cowboy hat attempting to break into their home from their surveillance system.
