SAN JOSE — A Halloween morning burglary at a West San Jose home ended in the arrest of five people, police said.
The burglary happened around 10:15 a.m., San Jose police spokesperson Stacie Shih said in a news release. A witness reported seeing two people force their way into a garage and take various items.
The suspects left the scene in a vehicle before officers arrived, but officers used automated license plate reader cameras to identify and track down the car, Shih said.
Officers stopped the vehicle outside a home in the 100 block of Muirfield Drive. A search of the vehicle turned up a stolen rifle, a privately made handgun and property stolen in the burglary, as well as evidence related to other burglaries, Shih said.
Three occupants — a 55-year-old man, a 41-year-old woman and a 32-year-old woman, all of San Jose — were arrested on suspicion of burglary and booked into Santa Clara County jail, Shih said.
In addition, a 44-year-old man and a 19-year-old man who live at the Muirfield Drive residence were arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property and firearm-related crimes, according to Shih. The pair was also booked into county jail.
Anyone with information related to the case can contact Detective Chris Santistevan at 408-277-4401 or 4376@sanjoseca.gov.
