On August 28th at approximately 10:30PM, North Coastal Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call of multiple subjects attempting to gain entry into an occupied residence in the 2000 block of Wales Drive in Encinitas. The homeowner saw flashlights and heard voices outside.
Deputies quickly arrived, contacted, and detained three suspects inside the garage. Deputies located bolt cutters on the floor next to the garage door and discovered the locking mechanism had been cut. The suspects were identified as 46-year-old Arlington Gill, 47-year-old Trisha Clay and 61-year-old Debi Ditomasso.
During the investigation, Deputies determined one of the suspects forced entry into the garage, entered the residence and opened the front door to allow the other two suspects inside. Due to the quick response by the Deputies, no items were stolen from the residence. All three suspects were arrested without incident and booked into the Vista Detention Facility.
