Deputies searching for three burglars caught on camera in Tulare County. Do you know them?

Tulare County Sheriff's Department

Tulare County Sheriff’s Office is seeking for the public’s help to identify three men who allegedly burglarized two businesses in one night on Tuesday.

The suspects first burglarized Buzz’s Drive-In on Elder Avenue in Goshen and then broke into Charro’s Express Mexican Restaurant on south Main Street in Pixley.

Deputies responded to a burglar alarm around 3:30 a.m. at Buzz’s Drive-In, where the property owner told deputies his business had been burglarized. Video surveillance showed the three suspects breaking in through a window and later leaving through the back door, according to a Tulare County Sheriff’s Office press release.

Between 4:23 a.m. and 4:28 a.m., the three men were caught on camera breaking into Charro’s Express Mexican Restaurant. The footage showed the suspects open the back door with a pry bar and take money, Tulare County says.

Deputies say it is clear that both burglaries were committed by the same three men.

The suspect vehicle is believed to be a four-door sedan and was last seen possibly traveling onto northbound Highway 99.

The first suspect is described as a black male adult, about 25 years-old, 6 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 160 to 180 pounds, with short black hair with receding hairline, and short groomed goatee.

The second suspect is described as a black male adult, about 20 to 30 years-old, 5 feet 5 inches tall , weighing 150 to 175 pounds. He was wearing a black hat with the gold size sticker on the brim and the letter “M” in blue and white similar to the Florida Marlins logo, a hooded black sweatshirt, white undershirt and Champion branded sweatpants.

The third suspect is described as a black male adult, about 30 years-old, between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet tall. He was wearing a dark-blue Allied Universal baseball style hat, light-blue dew rag, grey Nike brand sweatshirt, dark colored sweatpants.
