Pair Arrested in Connection to String of Robberies

After seeing an increase in burglaries in the area over the past two months, Campbell police netted arrests last week of two men suspected of being serial burglars, police said on Tuesday.

On Nov. 19, police arrested two Campbell residents after following up on information about the whereabouts of stolen property that was taken from a home on Walnut Drive, police said.

Anthony Furlong, 19, was contacted at his residence and was allegedly found to be in possession of an ATV taken from a nearby home.

Matthew Freudenblum, 18, was also contacted at the residence and had two bicycles stolen out of Los Gatos, police said.

A later search warrant yielded the discovery of additional stolen property that the men possessed, police said, as well as drugs, weapons and ammunition.

Police have identified the stolen property as belonging to at least 11 victims in the surrounding area.

Furlong was arrested on counts of possessing stolen property, a controlled substance for sale, drug paraphernalia, ammunition and an illegal weapon, according to police.

Freudenblum was arrested on counts of possessing stolen property and drug paraphernalia, as well as altering a serial number, according to police.
