Wildomar Teen Arrested for Canyon Lake Commercial Burglary

Two other unidentified juveniles were also arrested, according to the sheriff's department.

A burglary suspect was arrested at Lake Elsinore High School in connection with last month's break-in of a Canyon Lake restaurant, a sergeant said this weekend.

Coleman Bennett, 18, of Wildomar, was arrested at the high school Thursday. Two teens were also arrested but it was unclear if they were taken into custody at the same location.

Bennett was booked for suspicion of conspiring to commit a felony and second degree burglary. He remained in custody Saturday in lieu of $5,000 bail, records showed.
