According to witnesses, two Hispanic males were seen using flashlights to unload items from a vehicle and into a residence. The deputies approached the house, found the front door open, and spoke with a male, later identified as Luis Zavala. The deputies could see car stereos, VCRs, construction tools, television sets, and additional electronics and tools sitting in the living room area of the house.
