FREMONT, CA — Fremont Police Detectives from the department's Special Operations Division, along with the San Jose Police Department’s Air Support Unit, arrested four suspects in Union City during an in-progress residential burglary on Jan. 23, according to SJPD. It was the culmination of a multi-agency effort to take down a home invasion and burglary ring accused of committing crimes in at least five Bay Area cities.

While executing search warrants at five addresses linked to the men, investigators recovered over $100,000 in cash and stolen property. Several handguns, a high-capacity rifle and ammunition were also recovered.
Burglaries and home invasions in Fremont, Union City, Milpitas, San Jose and San Bruno were linked to the suspects. All four men are Oakland residents identified as Dejaun Mabon, Maurice Barrow, Shawn Wyatt, and Lawrence Barton.
