A Yucca Valley man was caught red-handed and arrested Saturday morning after a neighbor saw him breaking into a home. Shortly after 7 a.m., a resident in the 7400 block of Barberry Avenue heard banging and loud noises coming from his neighbor’s house, and he knew the homeowner was not at home. He saw a man, later identified as Jeremy Jones, 29, going in and out of the house, and then going in to a shed and a motor home. According to Sheriff’s Sergeant Steve Wilson, when Sheriff’s Deputies Adrian Garcia and Christopher Hess arrived, they found a wheelbarrow nearby, filled with tools, a camcorder, laptop computer, and a package of toilet paper, which had been taken from inside the home. Deputies Garcia and Hess discovered Jones coming out of the house and arrested him at gunpoint, with additional stolen items in his possession. Jeremy Jones was arrested for investigation of burglary, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $25,000.
