Police also arrested Isaac Lagunas, 38, who will face the same charge.

The pair worked together to steal an expensive guitar, Ortiz said.

Detectives used the homeowner's doorbell surveillance video and help from UPS to help track down the suspects.

Ortiz said if you're expecting a package, consider having a neighbor hold it for you or having it delivered to work or a package locker.
