The UCPD arrested a suspected burglar at 10:31 a.m. on November 6, at 5400 South Harper Avenue. The UCPD spotted a car belonging to Clarence Jones, a suspected burglar, and a short time later saw Jones. The police set up surveillance on Jones and watched him prepare to burglarize an apartment. Jones waited outside an apartment until someone came out without closing the door behind him properly, grabbing the door and entering the building. The UCPD surrounded the building and waited 50 minutes until Jones exited the back door of the building carrying a box of property. He was immediately taken into custody. In addition to the box full of property, Jones was found with a crow bar. Police assert that he used the bar to force entry into two apartments. Jones has been charged with the two burglaries at 5400 South Harper, and detectives are following up on the possibility that Jones is responsible for numerous other burglaries in the neighborhood. Jones, 51, is a resident of 9000 South Parnell Avenue and is currently on parole for residential burglary. He has an extensive criminal history of burglary.
