Three men were arrested during an active burglary in Studio City in late June. A search later turned up thousands of dollars, two stolen guns and other stolen items.
A group of suspected burglars donned construction workers' reflective vests to avoid suspicion while casing homes in well-off neighborhoods, stealing from dozens of L.A. County homes before being caught in the act in Studio City, the Los Angeles Police Department alleged in a news release.
Police alleged that the burglars would send one person to knock on the door wearing a reflective vest like a construction worker, hoping to diffuse suspicion. If no one was home, the other members of the crew would go through the backyard to break in, police said in a release. Dennis' girlfriend, 33-year-old Ashley Ellison, was also arrested after police searched her home July 3, according to inmate records.
