A 20-year-old man suspected of robbing several restaurants in Long Beach and committing other crimes was arrested, police announced today.
Detectives determined through surveillance images and recordings that Corey James Swayney was responsible for at least eight robberies between Sunday and Monday, according to a Long Beach Police Department statement.
During each robbery, the man entered each restaurant through the front door, then stole money and electronics, police said.
The burglaries took place across Long Beach—including Downtown, the Bixby Park area, the Traffic Circle area and Atlantic Avenue. Victims of the robberies include The Ordinaire, Chipotle, The Breakfast Bar, Pancho’s Vegan Tacos and two businesses at SteelCraft.
Swayney, a Long Beach resident, was arrested Wednesday, police said. He was booked for commercial burglary and an outstanding warrant. His bail was set at $550,000.
The case will be presented at the District Attorney’s Office today for filing consideration.
Burglary detectives are pursuing all leads and are discovering possibly related incidents, police said.
