The Livermore Police Department arrested five San Jose residents last Thursday who were tied to multiple early-morning car burglaries, police said.
The burglaries were first reported around 2:30 a.m. on June 18, according to a June 22 Facebook post from the department. Dispatch received multiple calls from residents in the Lakeside Circle and Old Oak Road area that morning who reported seeing “several masked individuals breaking into vehicles.”
After receiving those calls, Livermore police officers — along with the California Highway Patrol and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office — coordinated to surround the area where the most recent burglary had occurred between Holmes Street and Arroyo Road with the hopes of catching the suspects.
While searching the area, Livermore officers observed a silver sedan near Normandy Way and Rhone Court that was travelling at high speeds, which prompted officers to follow the car and conduct a “high-risk traffic stop” at Tesla Road and Concannon Boulevard. That was when officers took in the five suspects and connected them to the early-morning burglaries, according to police.
“The investigation resulted in the recovery of stolen property from the suspect vehicle, and two suspects admitted their involvement in the burglaries,” LPD stated in its Facebook post Monday. “Dispatch personnel were able to identify one of the victims and locate their residence, allowing officers to return a stolen set of golf clubs.”
Three of the five suspects were adult males in their early 20s, one of whom is currently on probation out of Alameda County. The other two suspects include a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old.
As of Tuesday afternoon, all three adults are still listed in the Alameda County Sherriff’s Office Inmate Locator, meaning they are booked at Santa Rita Jail. They are each being charged, in part, with second degree burglary and vandalism by damage.
