Police arrested an 18-year-old man they allege was caught on surveillance burglarizing a local Safeway.
A San Benito County Probation Department officer contacted the police department identifying Carlos O. Estrada of Hollister as a possible suspect shortly after the agency released photos of him in the store, police said. Police released the photos Jan. 29 showing the suspect at the store Jan. 26 committing burglary.
At 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, a sheriff’s deputy contacted Estrada near the corner of Fourth and Monterey streets on an unrelated matter, police said. Hollister Officer Rudy Rodriguez heard the suspect’s name on the police radio and responded. He did additional investigation and arrested Estrada, who was booked into the county jail.
Police thanked those who called with information about Estrada. Residents with information about crime can call (800) 78-CRIME.
