Justin Nuzman, 33, was arrested at his home in Magna about 2 p.m. Tuesday after numerous callers tipped off investigators, said Salt Lake police detective Jeff Bedard.

Saturday, a man burglarized medical offices at 660 S. 200 East and 508 E. South Temple. Extensive damage was done to the offices and cash boxes, and medications, a laptop computer and a digital camera were stolen.

In surveillance video, the man is seen walking with a boy who appeared to be 2 or 3 years old. Numerous people called police after local media broadcast the video saying they knew who the man was, said Bedard.
