On April 11th, 2014, at approximately 1:12 pm, the Menlo Park Police Department responded to the 700 block of Nash Ave in Menlo Park on a report of a burglary. The resident reported that sometime between 8:00 am and 1:10 pm, someone entered their residence and stole several computers, miscellaneous electronics and jewelry. With the assistance of the victim, the responding officer was able to determine that some of the stolen property was currently in the area of Buckingham and El Camino Real in Redwood City. Officers responded to that location where they located and contacted two subjects. During that contact, the subjects were found to be in possession of a large amount of stolen property taken from burglaries believed to have occurred in Menlo Park, Unincorporated Redwood City and Palo Alto. Officers are currently working with other police agencies to determine to whom the property belongs to and how it was obtained.
Guadalupe Gallegos (10/28/81) and Javier Lopez-Wiltron (10/4/80), both out of Redwood City, were arrested and booked into the San Mateo County Jail for Burglary (460 PC), Possession of Stolen Property (496 PC) and Conspiracy (182 PC). Lopez-Wiltron was also booked for Possession of Narcotic Paraphernalia (11364 H&S) and Possession of a Controlled Substance (11377 H&S).
