Redlands Pair Charged in Palm Desert Storage Facility Burglaries

PALM DESERT, CA- A man and woman who allegedly burglarized a Palm Desert storage facility were charged Friday with burglary, possession of controlled substances and other crimes. Redlands residents Marcos Iglesias, 44, and Allie Tilghman, 26, are accused of breaking into two units at Life Storage on Sept. 20 and Sept. 24, according to the criminal complaint.

According to sheriff's officials, "multiple" commercial burglaries happened throughout the month of September at a storage facility on Harris Lane in Palm Desert. Iglesias and Tilghman were ultimately identified as the suspects in the case and investigators last week served a search warrant at a house on the 32-000 block of San Timoteo Canyon Road in Redlands, just west of the Beaumont border.

"The search warrant resulted in additional stolen property, evidence related to the commercial burglaries, a firearm, and suspected methamphetamine," sheriff's Sgt. Robert Garcia said in a news release.

Among the items found was a 12-gauge shotgun, according to the complaint.

Iglesias and Tilghman were both booked into the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning. Jail records show Iglesias posted $25,000 bail on Monday while Tilghman posted $50,000 bail on Tuesday.

They were slated for arraignment last Friday afternoon on multiple counts each of burglary, receiving stolen property, possession of a firearm and possession of controlled substances.
