Two arrested on suspicion of burglarizing vehicles
Two men were arrested Nov. 22 after they reportedly went on a spree of early-morning vehicle burglaries.
Izaiah Barrera, 18, and Jose Lendechy Jr., 19, were arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and burglary.
According to Gilroy Police, at about 2:05am, officers received a call for service regarding two male suspects who attempted to break into a vehicle on the 100 block of Shire Street.
Less than five minutes later, another caller advised that two suspects were trying vehicle doors in the area of Caspian Way and Lusitano Way.
At about 5:53am, police received yet another call for service regarding a suspicious circumstance in the area of Angra Way and Tecate Lane. The caller could reportedly see two unknown men inside his vehicle through his surveillance cameras, which was parked at his residence on the driveway.
The caller provided a description of both suspects which matched the description provided by the previous callers and officers responded immediately, police said.
Officers soon after located the suspects nearby. According to police, they were found in possession of a stolen vehicle; three vehicles were found to be burglarized, and the suspects were found to be in possession of personal property taken from the vehicles, to include personal identifying information.
Both suspects are no longer in custody, according to jail records.
Anyone who resides in the areas are asked to check surveillance cameras for potential evidence, and anyone who has information about the incidents should contact the non-emergency number at 408.846.0350.
