. The suspects decked out a room in the hangar complete with disco lights, a fog machine and what appeared to be a music recording studio along with more traditional home furniture like a couch and TV.

Car batteries powered all of the equipment inside, police said.

In addition to the night-club like atmosphere, there were several items inside the room, some allegedly stolen. They included 11 bicycles, numerous spools of copper wire, an ******** M-800 firework, personal property from Irvine residents, two airsoft rifles and ***** paraphernalia.

Two Anaheim residents, 29-year-old Joshua Micheal Rosario and 53-year-old Patricia Lynn Ratliff, were arrested on warrants and other charges. Rosario was also arrested on suspicion of burglary and ***** possession.

Irvine police said the pair had been cited or arrested “multiple times” before on suspicion of trespassing at El Toro.
