Garden Grove police said they have nabbed one of the most prolific car burglars they have ever seen.

Julio Pachas and his girlfriend, Michella Fuquay, were arrested at his sister's home for possession of stolen property.

Searches of several locations turned up troves of stolen items, including high-end purses, credit cards and golf clubs.

Police believe Pachas is to blame for more than 200 vehicle burglaries in Orange and Los Angeles counties. A break came when a victim wrote down the license plate of the getaway car.

People looking to recover stolen items can attend a public viewing of the goods from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday at the Community Meeting Center at 11300 Stanford Avenue in Garden Grove.
