Just after 4:00 a.m. on April 10, 2018, a Sheriff’s K9 team was patrolling the Calle Real Center in the City of Goleta when the deputy observed a shattered glass door at the Town ‘n Country Realty & Investment Company, located in the 5600 block of Calle Real. As the Sheriff’s K9 team approached the building to investigate further, he observed a suspect inside the business with a flashlight, apparently in the act of committing a burglary. Additional deputies from the Goleta Valley Patrol Bureau, Isla Vista Foot Patrol and officers with the California Highway Patrol responded to assist with the investigation and to safely apprehend the suspect. Within minutes that suspect, 46-year-old Joseph Rose of Boston, MA, emerged from the building through the shattered glass door carrying several bags of stolen property. Rose was quickly taken into custody by the Sheriff’s K9 team as he attempted to walk away from the business.
Rose was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail for burglary. He is being held on $20,000 bail.
The City of Goleta contracts with the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement services.

I’d love to see a follow up on this guy. Why was he here in Goleta? What attracted him to the area? Does he have an other job or is he a career criminal? How does he pay his bills? Is he addicted to something?
Why do you want a “follow up” on a petty thief? Poor guy probably has some issues, but they aren’t yours, mine or the media’s business.
Sadly, they are everyone’s business when a crime is committed. Reducing crime is a goal that can only be accomplished through knowledge.

Wrong, the only thing that is “everyone’s business” is the fact that a crime has been committed. No one is entitled to a biography or some media analysis of every criminal’s life.
