Alleged South County Housekeeper Burglars Head to Court

A pair of women suspected of brazenly burglarizing several South Orange County homes by posing as housekeepers, appeared in court Wednesday morning for a pretrial hearing.

Sandra Elizabeth Rojas and Marie Alejandra Rojas, both of Riverside, are due back in court Friday for yet another pretrial hearing on a spate of burglary charges. The suspects are related by marriage.

Since their arrest in September, Orange County Sheriff’s detectives have been investigating leads allegedly linking the two to several burglaries around South Orange County. Investigators released videos and the mugshots of two women suspected of posing as housecleaners to gain access to homes throughout South Orange County for the purpose of burglarizing them.

Anyone with additional information or who believes they may have been a victim should call (949) 425-1940.
