Albuquerque, New Mexico : Police in Albuquerque say a man suspected of a $250,000 heist should have flushed the evidence he left behind.
KOAT-TV reports investigators tied Ramon Herrera to the September burglary using DNA left on a toilet. Police say the 33-year-old relieved himself after taking $250,000 worth of jewelry from a home while the owners were on vacation, but he didn't flush.
Police say Herrera also took a Coke from the fridge, drank it and left the can along with his DNA.
Investigators say DNA from the can and toilet was matched to Herrera. He was recently arrested and booked into the Bernalillo County jail. Herrera has pleaded not guilty to charges of residential burglary and larceny over $20,000. It's not known if he has an attorney who could be reached for comment.
