A 26-year-old man who San Diego police said was found on the roof of a La Jolla house was arrested early Oct. 26 on suspicion of burglary.
Officers were called after a resident heard noises coming from the roof and saw a man atop the house on Coast Walk off Torrey Pines Road around 4:45 a.m., said police Officer Tony Martinez.
Officer Scott Robinson said the intruder apparently went through the home before ending up on the roof. It wasn’t clear why he entered the home.
