Alert Citizen Helps Capture Thieves
In the early morning hours of November 26, an alert citizen reported a suspicious vehicle driving through their neighborhood. Responding officers located the vehicle shortly thereafter, but when they attempted a traffic stop, the driver fled. The vehicle entered the freeway heading towards Los Angeles and, for reasons yet to be determined, became disabled and caught fire near Rocky Peak Road.
When the vehicle came to a stop, its three occupants attempted to flee on foot but were quickly apprehended by officers.
A search of the vehicle revealed a large quantity of power tools, which are believed to be stolen. SVPD Detectives are actively working to identify the rightful owners. If you have recently been a victim of power tool theft, please contact Detective Dee at 805-583-6968 to arrange for identification of your property.
