Jonatan Jose Medina-Mejia, of Hawthorn, was arrested earlier this week in connection with a series of residential burglaries that took place in Huntington Beach after an investigation led by the H.B.police detectives and Special Investigation Unit.
The investigation into Medina-Mejia is ongoing as detectives have reason to believe he is responsible for additional burglaries in Orange County.
