Wildomar Woman Allegedly Caught Burglarizing Lake Elsinore Resident

A Wildomar woman was nabbed Wednesday in Lake Elsinore after she was allegedly caught in the act of burglarizing a home in the city.

Jerrica Marjorie Kentre Owens, 23, was booked into Southwest Detention Center today after being arrested this morning, according to jail records.

The alleged burglary was reported at approximately 10:39 a.m. in the 200 block of Prospect Avenue.

"The caller stated she returned home and found a white female adult rummaging through her belongings," reported Sgt. Marc Cloutier from the Lake Elsinore Sheriff's Station. "The victim yelled at the suspect who fled the house. An alert neighbor who heard the commotion spoke to the victim, then began to chase after the suspect."

When deputies arrived they saw the neighbor still following the suspected burglar, later identified as Owens. She was arrested without incident, Cloutier said.
