Corrales police report break-in, warrant discovery and safety tips
A Merriam Acres Road resident told Corrales police his ex-girlfriend broke into his home and stole items, while officers later found a warrant during a vehicle check near Cabezon.
Corrales police said a Merriam Acres Road resident reported that his ex-girlfriend broke into his home and stole items, and the case remains under investigation. The same update said officers later made a separate discovery during a vehicle registration check near Cabezon.
Shortly after 8 p.m. on Friday, July 10, officers checked a vehicle on Loma Larga near Cabezon and found that the owner had an outstanding arrest warrant. The department did not identify the warrant’s basis in its update, but the stop added another warrant-related call to a string of recent Corrales traffic enforcement encounters.
Police used the July 13 report to again urge residents to use alarms, cameras, security doors and windows, and bolted-down safes to reduce theft risks. The department repeated its message: SEE IT, HEAR IT, REPORT IT! That advice tracks closely with recent property-crime calls in the village, where officers have documented stolen items from homes and attempts to get inside residences.
In July 2024, Corrales police said someone reported theft from outside a home on Quiet Lane, along with an unsuccessful attempt to break into the house. In January 2025, a house-sitter on Los Arboles Verde Road reported that items were stolen from inside a home that showed no signs of forced entry. In December, officers said tools were stolen from an unoccupied, unsecured residence on the 2500 block of Loma Larga Road. The July 5 Merriam Acres Road case fits that pattern of property loss at homes and along residential roads where access, visibility and basic security remain central concerns.
The warrant discovery also fits a run of recent enforcement stops in Corrales. On June 13, officers pulled over a vehicle on W. Meadowlark near Loma Larga for a stop sign and registration violation and found the driver was wanted on a Rio Rancho Municipal Court bench warrant for failure to appear on prior traffic citations. On June 16, 2025, officers stopped a driver on Tenorio Road and Loma Larga for a stop sign violation and found a Corrales Municipal Court bench warrant tied to a no-registration case.
