Early Tuesday morning, Santa Barbara Police responded to a burglar alarm at the State Street CVS location downtown to find the front glass door broken and suspect gone.

The call came in around 6 a.m, and officers on the scene were able to identify and locate the suspect in question, who was arrested a few hours later less than a mile away.

The 32-year-old suspect was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail for commercial burglary and vandalism. The suspected burglar is currently being held on $20,000 bail.

Correction: The headline was updated on October 26 to change “Robbery” to “Burglary.”
