Watch Pleasanton Car Burglary Suspect Caught on Camera

Police investigators are asking for the public’s help identifying a man suspected of burglarizing at least one car in Pleasanton. According to police officials, security cameras on Maywood Dr. captured the Oct. 30. theft at 5:52 a.m.

“Items taken include a piece of jewelry, some paperwork and some coins,” Officer Archie Chu told Patch.

Police say the theft is a good reminder to residents that it is imperative to lock car doors and avoid leaving valuables, or anything that could be perceived as valuable, inside cars.

In September, Pleasanton resident Jeniece Avalos shared video surveillance taken in the 4400 block of Sutter Gate that shows an unidentified woman opening Avalos’ unlocked car door. In the video, the woman briefly sits in Avalos’ passenger seat and can be seen rummaging around the victim’s car before taking something and walking away to be picked up by a light-colored Prius.

In 2014, the rise in car burglaries throughout Pleasanton prompted police to launch the “Hide It, Lock It, or Lose It” campaign focused on reminding those who live, work or play in Pleasanton to remove all items from a vehicle before parking in an effort to deter would-be burglars.

Investigators ask anyone with information about this case or this person’s identity to call 925-931-5100.
