Residential Burglary Suspects Arrested Following Police Pursuit
Burbank, CA (February 21, 2020) - Four men from Northern California are in-custody after committing a residential burglary and leading police on a pursuit Thursday evening.
On February 20, 2020, at about 7:00 PM, Burbank Police responded to the 800 block of Stephen Road regarding suspicious circumstances and possible burglary activity. The Burbank Police Joint Air Support Unit arrived overhead and spotted a man running from a residence nearby, who then jumped into an awaiting vehicle. It was discovered that a home in the area had been burglarized.
Burbank Police Officers responded to the neighborhood and saw the car, a black Ford Fusion occupied by four individuals. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it fled, leading police on a pursuit. The vehicle committed numerous traffic violations and reached high speeds as it continued through Burbank before entering the State Routh 134, and ultimately the Interstate 5 freeway. As police pursued the vehicle, the occupants were seen throwing items out of the windows, believed to be property stolen in the burglary.
The pursuit continued north along the Interstate 5 freeway through the Santa Clarita Valley. Burbank Police were assisted by the California Highway Patrol and Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Office. The pursuit came to an end on the Interstate 5 freeway south of Vista Del Lago Road, near Pyramid Lake. All four suspects were taken into custody.
The suspects have since been identified as Demaria Adger, a 24-year-old man from Oakland, Marcus Samuels, a 19-year-old man from Antioch, Quazaye Waugh, a 22-year-old man from Oakland, and Dominique Williams, a 24-year-old man, also from Oakland. All four suspects were booked on suspicion of residential burglary and are being held on $100,000 bail.
The items discarded by the suspects were found by Burbank Police Officers and determined to be property belonging to the victims of the residential burglary.
