Watsonville Police on Sunday used a newly acquired drone to capture a man in the act of allegedly burglarizing a marijuana growing business.
Omar Cortez Ramirez, 40, was charged with first-degree burglary and resisting arrest. He was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail, jail records showed.
In a video taken with the drone, Ramirez could be seen going in and out of the business with multiple bundles of marijuana and then stashing them nearby.
He then attempted to hide when he realized that police had surrounded the building, police said.
With the help of K9 officer Cruze, however, Ramirez was tracked down, bitten and arrested.
Ramirez stole more than $20,000 worth of marijuana, Watsonville Police spokeswoman Michelle Pulido said.
The incident is one of several burglaries that occurred at area marijuana dispensaries in the last year. In May, a dozen suspects toting pry bars, and other tools used a vehicle to burst their way into the The Hook dispensary at 11 Hangar Way.
After loading four vehicles with marijuana products and failing to hoist a safe into one vehicle, they fled. That’s when police from several law agencies gave pursuit north of Highway 1, over Highway 17 and into Hayward. Police managed to capture one vehicle but there were no arrests.
