Nine held over San Jose burglary spree targeting businesses and vehicles
Nine people — six adults and three juveniles — have been arrested in connection with a series of commercial burglaries and roughly 50 vehicle break-ins across San Jose, nbcbayarea.com reports.
The commercial burglaries took place between 3 and 24 June at three businesses: one on the 1600 block of Capitol Avenue, one on the 400 block of Blossom Hill Road, and one on the 1900 block of Camden Avenue, according to the San Jose Police Department.
Investigators said suspects drove vehicles directly into the businesses to force entry, took various items, and fled before officers arrived.
Detectives from the San Jose Police Department Burglary Unit subsequently established that some of the same suspects were also behind approximately 50 vehicle burglaries reported across the city on 27 and 29 June. Automated license plate reader cameras helped identify all nine individuals.
Arrests were made between 17 June and 15 October. The most recent detentions involved Diego Frias and Moises Nava, along with two juveniles. Joshuah Villela, who had previously been arrested in relation to the commercial burglaries, was rearrested on suspicion of involvement in the vehicle break-ins as well.
The adult suspects were booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail, while the three juveniles were taken to Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall, all on suspicion of burglary.
