Bloody trail leads police to burglary suspect
Police responding to burglar alarms early Thursday morning discovered a trail of blood between two Mesa businesses left by a man surveillance tapes show walked barefoot over broken glass after smashing store windows with a rock.
About 5 a.m. police responded to alarms at Taco Bell, Subway and Water & Ice in the same shopping complex on East Brown Road near Mesa Drive.
According to a police report, the man's first target was the Taco Bell. Video surveillance showed him walking around inside moving objects but not taking anything, police said. Next he went to Subway where surveillance shows the man walking over broken glass from the smashed window in bare feet. The tape shows he left the restaurant abruptly after being startled by something.
Police discovered a blood trail that began in Subway and led them to Water & Ice, where it was discovered that a cash register and cash was taken.
Police found Anthony Lazzaroni, 18, walking in a nearby canal after he was pointed out by witnesses as a possible suspect.
During interviews with police, Lazzaroni - who had cuts on the bottom of his feet that required medical attention - appeared to be sleepy and lethargic and said he did not know his address because he is living with friends and has only lived in Arizona for two weeks, authorities said.
He was arrested on suspicion of three counts of third-degree burglary.
The stolen items were not recovered.
