On Christmas morning, a homeowner in Westlake Village was awakened by a noise, and found an intruder inside his house, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. said in a news release.
The victim chased the suspect a short distance, but the intruder got away.
It was discovered that, among other items, an iPad was taken from the victim's home.
Later that same morning, the victim called the Malibu/Lost Hills sheriff's station to say that the stolen iPad was giving a signal from a nearby home.
Deputies responded to the location and recovered the iPad.
They arrested 20-year-old Patrick Krewson, a resident of Vista, in San Diego County.
Detectives conducted a follow-up investigation, and connected Krewson to a burglary in Vista on Dec. 22.
Two flat-screen televisions, a laptop computer and more than 40 Christmas presents intended for children were stolen in that burglary.
Deputies searched Krewson's home in Vista and found all of the stolen property, including the presents.
When detectives notified the Vista victim that her Christmas presents had been found in time to give them to the children for Christmas, she began to cry, authorities said.
Krewson was booked for burglary at the Malibu/Lost Hills Station, and is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
San Diego County Sheriff?s Department will file additional burglary charges.
