Recognize These Guys? Area Cops Suspect Trio Was Planning Home Break-In

SAN BRUNO, CA -- Police are asking for the public's help to identify three people who they believe intended to burglarize a San Bruno home last week.

On May 25, around 3:30 p.m. a resident arrived at his house in the 2400 block of Oakmont Drive and found three males standing outside the residence, according to police.

The trio told the homeowner they were waiting to be picked up. A fourth person in a white Honda Civic then arrived and picked up the three, police said. Surveillance video in the area showed the three being dropped off by the white Honda just moments before the homeowner arrived.

Based on the trio's actions, investigators believe they were planning on committing a residential burglary, according to police.

Most residential burglaries occur when burglars believe a home is empty, police said. In order to ensure this, burglars will often knock on the door.

If someone answers the door, the burglars will come up with an excuse for knocking. If they get no answer, they will then proceed with the burglary, according to police. Police advise that homeowners and residents should not confront a burglary suspect. Instead, police recommend calling 911 immediately if they find a suspicious person at or near their residence.

Anyone with information about the identity of the trio is asked to contact San Bruno police at (650) 616-7100. Anonymous tips can be emailed to sbpdtipline@sanbruno.ca.gov.
