The San José Police Department Bureau of Investigations (BOI) initiated an investigation into a series of commercial burglaries in the city of San José involving three suspects who utilized Odyssey mini vans in the commission of their crimes. The suspects broke into closed businesses during late night or early morning hours and stole merchandise, cash registers, and/or ATM machines. They entered the businesses through the front door or window by using blunt objects, crowbars, or crashing through with a stolen vehicle. The crew was responsible for several commercial burglaries from March 2022 through July 2022 using a white Honda Odyssey; however, after a local news agency released video surveillance footage of the suspect vehicle, the vehicle was subsequently torched. The burglary crew remained active and continued to victimize local businesses through October 2022. Detectives continued their investigation and identified the three suspects, as well as a new Odyssey being used by the burglary crew.
On Wednesday November 9th, 2022 the San José Police Department BOI secured three arrest warrants, as well as search warrants for multiple residences and vehicles. The SJPD Covert Response Unit (CRU) arrested two of the three suspects and safely served and secured one of the residences and vehicles. SJPD Patrol Officers and BOI Detectives located evidence of the crimes. Two suspects were booked in the Santa Clara County jail for several counts of commercial burglary and the outstanding arrest warrants.
On Tuesday, November 22nd, 2022, the SJPD Covert Response Unit (CRU) arrested the third suspect and safely served and secured the additional residences and vehicles. Additional evidence of the crimes was located. The third suspect was booked in the Santa Clara County jail for several counts of commercial burglary and the outstanding arrest warrant.
Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the San José Police Department Financial Crimes Unit at 408-277-4521.
