Alejandro Oliveros Acosta, 45, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly luring and harming over a dozen neighborhood cats in Santa Ana. The Santa Ana Police Department received multiple reports of missing cats and suspected abuse, which led to Acosta's identification by victims. Officers searched his property and are compiling evidence and timelines of the incidents, aided by local social media efforts. Investigations also point to Acosta being connected to a notable case involving a cat named Clubber, who was reunited with its owner after being missing.
Authorities believe that the suspect enticed more than a dozen neighborhood cats to his property, where they subsequently went missing or were harmed.
With the assistance of local social media, investigators are gathering accounts of missing cats to support formal reports and build a timeline of events.
