Two adults and two teenagers were arrested in southwest Pueblo County after allegedly burglarizing a property Tuesday evening, according to a news release from the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to the 6000 block of Burnt Mill Road around 10 p.m. after a report of several people trespassing. The release stated that deputies witnessed flashlights in the distance and could hear talking and the rummaging of items.
Sheriff’s Office deputies made themselves and their K-9 unit known and ordered four people to get on the ground. One man, Kevin Pullella, 27, did so while three others ran away, according to the release.
Gianna Bilardo, 24, was apprehended by K-9 Zeus while deputies detained two 17-year-olds. According to the release, deputies then found a van with the engine running on the property with several stolen items including a motorcycle.
Deputies also discovered four children, ages 1, 3, 4 and 6, sleeping unattended “amongst the stolen items, trash and other debris.”
Pullella and Bilarado face charges of second-degree burglary, possession of burglary tools, second-degree trespass, theft, child abuse and motor vehicle theft. The release stated the two teenagers were released to their parents and their charges were forwarded to the 10th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
