Five San Jose suspects were arrested after Livermore residents reported masked people breaking into cars in the early morning hours, police said.
Livermore police dispatch began receiving multiple calls around 2:30 a.m. Thursday, June 18, from residents in the Lakeside Circle and Old Oak Road area, according to Patch.
The callers reported several masked individuals breaking into vehicles.
Officers then worked with the California Highway Patrol and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office to contain the area between Holmes Street and Arroyo Road.

During the search, Livermore officers saw a silver sedan moving at a high rate of speed near Normandy Way and Rhone Court, according to police details reported by Patch. Officers located the vehicle as it left Normandy Way onto eastbound Concannon Boulevard.
Police then conducted a traffic stop at Tesla Road and Concannon Boulevard, where five suspects were taken into custody without incident.
Two Juveniles Were Among Those Arrested
Patch identified the adult suspects as Abraham Pinal, 21, Daniel Rosos, 20, and Nicholas Gonzalez-Velasquez, 21, all of San Jose. Police also arrested a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old from San Jose. Because two of the suspects are juveniles, police did not release their names.
Police said stolen property was found inside the suspect vehicle, and two suspects admitted involvement in the burglaries. Dispatch personnel were able to identify one victim, and officers returned a stolen set of golf clubs.
Driveways and Street Parking Need the Same Routine
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration advises drivers to take their keys, close and lock all windows and doors, park in well-lit areas when possible, and never leave valuables in a vehicle where they can be seen.
Those habits apply in a driveway as much as they do in a parking lot. Before going inside for the night, homeowners should remove visible bags, wallets, electronics, tools, sports gear, garage openers, and spare keys from parked vehicles.
If residents see people checking car doors, looking into vehicles, or moving from driveway to driveway, they should stay inside, call police, and preserve any doorbell or security-camera footage.
