A DirecTV installer who authorities say is a recently deported illegal alien felon was arrested Thursday, March 28, after surveillance video showed a man stealing the customer’s $2,500 English bulldog puppy from the backyard.

Eduardo Robles, 38, of San Bernardino, was in custody Friday and is scheduled to be arraigned April 2 on a charge of grand theft, according to a news release from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and online jail records.

Stealing a dog valued at more than $950 is considered grand theft, according to the state Penal Code.

Robles was an employee of a subcontractor that installs satellite television systems for DirecTV when on March 8 he installed a system in Victorville, a news release said. Later that day, a surveillance camera captured a man returning to the customer’s residence and using a ladder to dismantle a latch on the backyard gate.

The footage showed a man enter the yard and then leave with the puppy in his arms. Detectives arrested Robles on Glassgow Street in San Bernardino. The dog was found at a nearby house.

Robles was booked at Victor Valley Jail on a felony charge of grand theft of a dog. His bail Friday evening was listed at $175,000.

But further investigation showed Robles is an illegal alien and a recently deported felon

Detectives learned that Robles has been using the name Wence Benitez Gonzalez, and that he was in possession of false identification bearing that name, the release said.

I think the biggest problem they all have is nobody notices when they work well. You don’t really pay much attention to your phone or cable as long as they’re working, you only notice when they’re out. That’s why I like to thank the IT guys at work for things going smoothly, because all they hear from anybody else is when the network is broken.
