Pair with Infant Living in Stolen Car Arrested for Alleged Home Break-Ins

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – A transient couple living in a stolen vehicle with a 7-month-old baby were arrested in Mountain View early Tuesday morning in connection with several residential burglaries, according to police.

Police said officers were on patrol in the early morning hours when they spotted two people sitting in a car in the 700 block of Continental Circle.

Further investigation revealed the suspects, Michael Wiggins, 46, and Rohnita Prasad, 36, allegedly stole the vehicle from the garage of a Mountain View home in October and were living in it with Prasad's infant son.

Police said officers also discovered stolen items, mail and packages from other Mountain View homes in the vehicle.

Wiggins and Prasad were arrested on suspicion of residential burglary, vehicle theft, possession of stolen property, possession of narcotics, possession of burglary tools and child endangerment.

"We believe there may be additional burglary victims stemming from this case, based on the fact that the pair did not ransack homes during their burglaries and only specific items were taken," police said. "If you have additional information on this case or if you believe you were a victim, please check your homes to make sure all your belongings are there."

Anyone with further information about this incident is encouraged to contact Mountain View detectives at (650) 903-6368.
