Teenager arrested in upper valley bakery robbery linked to multiple burglary sprees

UPDATE: Court documents obtained by ABC-7 show Jacob Perez's physical description, and MO connected him to a series of 15 business burglaries back in July. Perez was arrested for that series of burglaries.

Investigators say surveillance video from a burglary of a spree on Oct. 17 showed Perez and another subject inside one of the businesses. Four businesses were hit within a 20-30 minute span.

Investigators say the subjects were described as short, having a thin build, and wearing hooded sweatshirts, masks and red latex gloves.

Investigators say they were able to connect Perez and the subject to an additional two overnight burglaries on Oct. 14.

For the Arcoiris Bakery burglary, investigators say Perez stole $100 from the register, caused $295 in damage to the cash registers, and $500 in damage to the glass doors.
