From Albuquerque, NM station KOAT:
APD: Coke can, bathroom break tie man to burglary
Albuquerque police said a burglar did everything right to get himself caught.
Police said the suspect left behind two DNA clues.
Ramon Herrera is accused of taking $250,000 worth of jewelry while the victims were on vacation.
Before he escaped, police said he took a can of Coke from the fridge, drank it and left it along with his DNA. Police said he also used the toilet and didn’t flush.
All of that DNA was matched to Herrera, who was arrested and booked into the Bernalillo County jail.
And the fact that his DNA was already on file shows him to be a repeat offender.
