Alameda Assistant City Prosecutor Montague Hung filed charges against a man who burglarized the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier Museum Ship on October 18. The charges, including second-degree burglary, theft, and trespass are in violation of California's penal code. Further details on the case and the subsequent arrest can be found in the official Alameda City announcement.

The Alameda Police Department (APD) swiftly responded to a call reporting the burglary, with their arrival at the USS Hornet Museum Ship coordinated thanks to live video surveillance of the perpetrator's actions aboard the ship. 

Alameda City Attorney Yibin Shen emphasized that "community safety has consistently been one the City Council's highest priorities". He further lauded the diligent work of the Prosecution and Public Rights Unit of the Alameda City Attorney's Office in representing the California public in misdemeanor criminal matters.
