Detectives from the Anaheim Police Department Burglary/Auto Theft Detail have arrested two parolees for committing multiple residential burglaries in Anaheim Hills. Detectives believe the suspects have been involved in additional crimes in and around Orange County and the investigation is continuing.
A weeks-long investigation culminated in the arrests of David Urban, a 45-year-old transient, and Chad Shoffner, a 46-year-old resident of Garden Grove, at separate locations. Both were booked at the Anaheim Detention Facility for four counts of residential burglary and parole violations and both are being held at the Orange County Jail without bail.
The burglaries occurred between April 23 and May 8 in the 400 block of S. Peralta Hills Dr., the 1200 block of Night Star Way and the 500 block of E. Evening View Rd. The suspects were linked to the crimes through forensic evidence recovered at the scenes.
The suspects drove a purple Ford Fusion bearing a California license plate during many of the crimes. They stole jewelry, computer equipment and sports memorabilia. They then sold the stolen items to pawn shops in surrounding counties.
