Chino Hills – On Fri., May 22, Deputies from the Chino Hills Police Department responded to the 5600 block of Pine Avenue in the city of Chino Hills when a resident called police regarding a possible residential burglary in progress. The resident saw two black male subjects enter the backyard of a residence, and then enter the home through the side garage door. They did not recognize the individuals who entered the home and alerted authorities.
According to the Chino Hills Police Department, Deputies arrived at the residence and heard movement inside the home. Shortly thereafter, residents noticed the subjects flee the location on foot. San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Aviation Unit assisted deputies with an area check and located the subjects in close proximity of the residence.

The subjects were identified as Aubrey Caldwell, 23, and Messiah Muhammad, 20, both of Rialto. An infield line-up was conducted and both subjects were positively identified as the same subjects who entered the home.

A short time later, Michael Crowley, 23, of Rialto, was located in a vehicle parked in a shopping center east of the home. A detailed investigation was conducted and deputies were able to link all three suspects to the crime. It was later determined that Caldwell was a parolee at large, and Muhammad was on active probation.

All three subjects were booked at the West Valley Detention Center.
