Shortly after the burglaries, neighbors banded together to help stop Guerra from attacking again. One woman caught the suspect hopping a fence onto their property.
The suspect was seen rummaging around for 15 minutes before leaving with a bag full of items, and then he rode away on his bicycle.
The video was posted online, and the neighborhood quickly stepped up to help find the suspect.
"We have become a tight knit community now because of this," one man said.
