Redwood City Man Arrested For East Bay Burglary: Police

PINOLE, CA — Three burglary suspects in a Pinole break-in were tracked down after they crashed their getaway car in Martinez, police said.

Pinole police were alerted to the burglary on Thursday by a resident who called shortly before 2 p.m. to report two people entering the backyard of his neighbor's home in the 3900 block of Ponderosa Trail, according to a news release from police.

Officers were securing the area when the homeowner arrived and the suspects fled in a silver Lexus waiting nearby. They were seen getting onto eastbound Highway 4 from Interstate Highway 80.

After an alert for the suspects' car was broadcast to law enforcement, a Hercules officer who happened to be in Martinez spotted the car headed eastbound on Highway 4 approaching Alhambra Avenue, police said.

When the suspects' car exited on Alhambra, it crashed and four suspects fled the vehicle.

Police located and arrested three suspects: John Woods, 24, of Redwood City, Jhacorieo Rooney, 25, of Oakland and Justin Dorsey, 30 of San Francisco. A fourth suspect, for whom a detailed description was not available, has not been located or identified.

Stolen property from the Pinole home was found in the suspects' car, police said.

Anyone with information regarding this crime or similar incidents is asked to call the Pinole Police Department at (510) 724-8950.
