Wildwood Police: Two Arrested, One Wanted for Home Burglary

Cops in Wildwood say two people have been arrested and one other person is still wanted in connection to a home burglary last weekend.

Officers were called to the 100 east block of Garfield Avenue around 10:30 last Sunday night, according to the Wildwood Police Department, after a homeowner received an alert from a surveillance system.

Cops were able to use those video recordings to identify three suspects. During a follow-up investigation, "detectives proactively conducted surveillances in the areas that these individuals were known to frequent," and two people were arrested -- 31-year-old Giovanni Alicea-Ocasio and 29-year-old Kevin Vega-Aguilar, both of Wildwood.

A third person, 26-year-old Marangeli Medina, remains wanted by police.
