Three burglary suspects arrested in Costa Mesa

Three people were arrested Wednesday night after one stole a bottle of high-end vodka from a Ralphs on Harbor Boulevard, Costa Mesa police said.

Michael Hachquet, 22, of Coto de Caza; Dillon Kuenzli, 20, of Costa Mesa; and Angelene Calvert, 19, of Costa Mesa, were arrested just after 10 p.m. as they arrived at Calvert’s apartment in the 2700 block of Peterson Place.

At about 9 p.m., the three drove to the grocery store, 380 E. 17th St., Glass said. One walked in, grabbed a $30 bottle of Swedish Level Vodka, hid it, then ran out, he said.

A Ralphs employee was able to read Calvert’s license plate number, with which police tracked her, Glass said.

A premeditation to steal instead of a spur-of-the-moment decision turns petty thefts into burglaries, Glass said.
