Two arrested for East County vehicle burglaries

Deputies of the Manatee County Sheriff's Office this morning arrested two individuals for committing vehicle burglaries in the RioMar community in the East County.

Fabian Dorene, 19, and Willebaldo Arias, 16, were arrrested for a vehicle burglary in the 600 block of 37th Street East, Bradenton.

"We've been getting hammered by vehicle burglaries (all over the county) and certainly, we think those two have been right in the thick of thing," Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Dave Bristow said. "We've had quite a few (vehicle burglaries) in East County.

"We don't think they've done them all, but we think they've done more than they did last night," he said. "They will be charged accordingly. We're working on all that."

Willebaldo was arrested in January for vehicle burglary, Bristow said.
