MPD arrests two burglary suspects overnight in Province

The Maricopa Police Department, in cooperation with Pinal County Sheriff’s Office S.W.A.T. and Border Patrol K-9, have made two in-custody arrests in connection with a burglary that occurred in the Province community early Tuesday morning at about 1 a.m.

Maricopa officers and detectives are currently serving a search warrant in an attempt to recover property and evidence.

On Monday, Sgt. Stephen Judd, a spokesman for Maricopa Police, said multiple burglaries had taken place recently in the area.

Public records detailing the incidents were not made immediately available for review during normal business hours on that date as required by state public records laws, and are pending release from MPD and city officials (Click here for a reference to the state law).

To release the information, a city official said, a $5 copying charge would be assessed per page. A request for a visual inspection of the records without creating photo copies was denied.

Judd said additional information regarding last night’s arrests will be released upon conclusion of its service of the search warrant.
