Santa Maria police arrest commercial burglar

December 15, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

A commercial burglar is in jail after an observant Santa Maria police officer spotted him attempting to exit a secured parking lot adjacent to a closed business on Saturday.

Shortly before 5:30 p.m., the officer was patrolling in the 200 block of W. Betteravia Road when he observed the male suspect. As the officer approached, 46-year-old Jaime Coria fled back into the secured lot where he attempted to hide among several parked vehicles.
Officers established a perimeter around the area and deployed a department drone. Using the drone’s thermal imaging capabilities, officers located Coria, who was taken into custody without incident.
The officer booked Coria into the Santa Maria Northern Branch Jail for commercial burglary. He remains in custody with his bail set at $20,000.

Why deport them? You know they’ll be back. Why not build some camps with ovens? You know you would love that more.

Possibly the most egregious, deplorable, slime ball comment you’ve ever made at CCN. Then again…..maybe not.

Like in the fable of the deceptive, lying scorpion being carried on the back of the helpful frog swimming them both to the other side of the stream or pond, the scorpion has to sting the frog because it is in his nature to do so.
