Commercial Burglary Suspect Arrested
Once again video surveillance has played a significant role in the quick identification and apprehension of a burglary suspect.
On Saturday, October 4, 2014, a commercial burglary occurred in the 43100 block of Osgood Rd. in Fremont. During the burglary, two suspects unlawfully entered a video production business and left with computer and video production equipment between the hours of 2:46 a.m. – 4:30 a.m. As a security measure the company was equipped with video surveillance technology that captured the crime. The video was released by the owner of the business via social media and photos were shared by Fremont Police on Nixle and Facebook. As a result, a tip was received regarding the suspect.
Fremont Police Detectives followed up on the information and identified Amador Casteneda (29 y/o, male, Hayward resident) as the suspect. Casteneda was located in Hayward near his residence and taken into custody without incident during a traffic stop. Fremont Detectives recovered loss from the commercial burglary in Casteneda’s vehicle. Detectives authored a subsequent search warrant for a storage unit belonging to Casteneda and located loss from at least nine additional burglaries that have occurred throughout the bay area.
This case remains ongoing and we encourage anyone with information related to this case to contact Detective Shawn Decker at 510-790-6900 or [email protected].
