Suspect Arrested in Gallery & Jewelry Store Burglaries

A 27-year-old suspect, Ryan Coats, has been arrested in San Luis Obispo County for allegedly pulling off a string of high-stakes burglaries targeting galleries and jewelry stores across Cambria, Cayucos, San Simeon, and Templeton. Found with stolen goods from a recent break-in, Coats faces four felony burglary charges and one count of attempted burglary — and he’s already on bail for another burglary under investigation. The haul includes $3,000–$5,000 in jewelry and precious metals from McLean Jewelry, and $15,000 in stolen items from Artifacts Gallery after a window was smashed. With a prior felony record and suspected ties to crimes beyond county lines, authorities are urging anyone with info to come forward — this case is far from over.
