Three South County men were booked on $25,000 bail early Saturday after Costa Mesa police pulled them over and found reportedly stolen property in their car. The car the three men were in had also been reported as stolen, Costa Mesa Police Lt. Dale Birney said.
Francisco Lagunas, 21, and Muro Gonzalez, 23, both of Aliso Viejo, and Laguna Hills resident Enrique Fiqueiros, 18, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and auto theft just before 1 a.m. Saturday.
The suspects reportedly attempted to avoid contact with the police but eventually were pulled over in the parking lot behind Borders bookstore at 19th Street and Newport Boulevard, Birney said.
