BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — An arrest has been made in the case of vandalism at Luigi's Restaurant and Delicatessen in Bakersfield.

According to the Bakersfield Police Department, 27-year-old Manuel Roque was arreted Wednesday for burglary and vandalism.

At the time of the break-in, owner Gino Valpredo said something had to be done about the rash of vandalism hitting businesses downtown.
