CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — Casa Grande police have arrested a suspect in connection with a residential burglary that took place on early Monday morning.
Shortly after midnight, a resident in the 2000 block of North Cheyenne Place called police reporting that someone had used his credit cards, police said.
An investigation led to video surveillance of a suspect climbing into the victim's residence through a window, police said.
The suspect walked around the house, armed with a handgun, and took some keys and a wallet that belonged to the victim. The victim and his child were home, but did not hear the intruder enter or leave, police said.
Detectives discovered that the suspect attempted more than $6,400 in online purchases using the victims credit card. The suspect was only able to process $161 of purchases, police said.
