Last Thursday they arrested Bush at his home on the 200 block of Sextus Road in Oakland. According to a police statement, a search of his premises turned up property from several of the burglaries, including stolen credit cards.

Police department spokesman Lt. Randy Brandt said other burglars unfortunately work the same territory so Bush's arrest is unlikely to bring all such crimes in the area to a halt.
