Sablan, 45, came to an end after police were able to find him and carry out his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Sablan is allegedly involved in burglarizing the home of Castro over a week ago with his co-defendant, Shaina Castro, who has since been detained at the Department of Corrections.<\/p>\n<p>Last Thursday, DPS issued an advisory seeking the community\u2019s help to locate Sablan as he was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, Sablan was brought before Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho for an initial appearance and bail hearing.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, Camacho imposed a $10,000 cash bail on Sablan for charges of burglary and theft.<\/p>\n<p>At the hearing, Sablan was represented by assistant public defender Tyler Scott, while assistant attorney general Frances Demapan appeared for the government.<\/p>\n<p>Following the hearing, Sablan was remanded back to DOC custody and was ordered to return to court for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 5, at 10am. Meanwhile his arraignment was set for Oct. 17 at 9am.<\/p>\n<p>According to court documents, at around 11:59pm last Sept. 23, DPS officers responded to a burglary and theft incident in Finasisu.<\/p>\n<p>At the scene, officers met with the caller, Castro, who stated that his house had just been broken into.<\/p>\n<p>Castro led the police into the home and showed officers a black slipper which did not belong to him, and his bedroom door which was open. Castro said he had closed his bedroom door before he left his house.<\/p>\n<p>He also showed police surveillance footage that showed a woman, who identified as his niece Shaina Castro,\u00a0 with a man, later identified as Sablan, entering the home. Castro noted that his niece had stolen from him in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Follow-up investigation revealed that the items missing included an Echo brush-cutter, a Vizio television, a backpack with an Asus laptop, an external hard-drive, a drone camera, and an Apple iPad.<\/p>\n<p>Shaina Castro, 23, was located and arrested in Koblerville for charges of burglary and theft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Public Safety has found and arrested one of two individuals accused of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":377113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-377111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
