On December 13, 2013 the Pleasanton Police Department responded to investigate a residential burglary that occurred in the 7750 block of Canyon Meadows Circle. The stolen property included electronic items, tools, home furnishings, and clothing. After the burglary, the residents installed video surveillance equipment on the exterior of their home which proved to be an excellent tool. On December 31, 2013, the residents were viewing surveillance footage when they noticed their neighbor, 39 year old Sormeh Angela Zupan, walking in front of their residence wearing the stolen pajama pants and slippers from the burglary.
Detectives from the Pleasanton Police executed a search warrant at Zupan’s residence on January 22, 2014. Nearly all of the victim’s property was recovered to include the victim’s home furnishings which Zupan had used to decorate her own residence. Zupan was placed under arrest for burglary and possession of stolen property. Zupan will be booked at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.
