Two Arrested for Burglary, Criminal Mischief at East El Paso Property

Two men were arrested on June 24, 2025, after El Paso County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of criminal trespass in progress at a property in the 14000 block of Montana Avenue.

Deputies from the East Montana Patrol Station arrived within two minutes and observed two male individuals, later identified as Clemente Arrieta, 53, and Luis Wilfredo Chairez, 28, entering and exiting the property while carrying multiple items. The area was immediately secured, and both suspects were detained without incident.
