Two teens who are suspected of breaking in to a Costa Mesa motorcycle shop over the weekend and stealing a motorcycle were arrested Wednesday, police said.
Authorities arrested Mark Burlingham, 19, of Newport Beach, and a 17-year-old boy around 1 p.m. in the 100 block of East 16th Street on suspicion of commercial burglary and grand theft, a Costa Mesa police statement said. The identity of the 17-year-old is being withheld because he is a juvenile.
The pair allegedly entered MACH 1 Motorcycles, 133 Industrial Way, shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday by lowering themselves from the roof.
The thieves were in the store for 20 minutes and took a 2001 Honda sport motorcycle, two helmets and a leather jacket. Security footage captured one of the teens fleeing the shop on the bike, and the other leaving on foot because he could not start another motorcycle inside the business.
Burglary tools and other evidence were found at the scene. Detectives found the motorcycle and other stolen items during the arrests.
Details on what led to the arrest of the teens were not provided.
Burlingham is being held on $20,000 bail. Court information for both suspects was not available.
