DETAILS:
On October 25, 2012 about 1:11PM, San Leandro Police Officers received a call from a residence in the 1100 block of Halcyon Dr. The resident saw some suspicious subjects looking into a residence on that street. Prior to officers arriving on the scene, the reporting citizen said the subjects left the area in an older model black vehicle and gave our dispatchers a possible license plate. San Leandro Dispatchers gave police officers the vehicle description and the officers searched the surrounding areas for it.
About 1:57PM, a Motorcycle Enforcement Officer observed a black Mercedes Benz on Farnsworth St at Churchill St. occupied with 3 Asian males. Believing it was the same suspect vehicle from earlier in the day, he made a traffic stop and detained the suspects. The suspects were identified as the same ones seen earlier and were taken into custody.
“There have been several incidents last week where citizens of San Leandro used their observation skills and helped police capture people doing crimes in San Leandro. It’s important for the police officers to get the community’s assistance and we are thankful for the collaborative efforts shown,” said Lt. Mike Sobek.
