UNION CITY, CA - Police arrested a 22-year-old man and a juvenile on suspicion of burglarizing a home in Menlo Park.

Police received a call at 9:39 a.m. Thursday from a resident who said two suspicious people were lurking in the 100 block of Oak Court. The resident said the two suspects first knocked at the front door to the home and when no one answered they went around back.
