Dumb Criminals: Chula Vista Church Thief Arrested After Taking Selfie At Scene Of Crime
CHULA VISTA — This was one selfie the taker probably regrets.
Adam Howe, a suspect in a Chula Vista church burglary, was arrested this week after police found a photo he had apparently snapped of himself on a cellphone left at the scene.
Howe, 26, is also wanted on felony theft charges in Indiana, authorities there said.
Chula Vista police responded to a report of a ransack burglary Monday night at Hilltop Tabernacle Church on L Street near Third Avenue, Capt. Lon Turner said. The incident happened sometime after 10:30 p.m.
The church building had been broken into, as well as an RV that was parked nearby. A laptop computer was taken, along with cash, several purses and watches.
