In a notable move against local crime, the local police department announced that a suspected burglar behind a string of thefts in the Peninsula had been arrested in Foster City. According to a post on their official Facebook page, the early morning incident last Friday saw FLOCK surveillance technology tipping off Foster City Police Department (FCPD) officers to a vehicle connected with previous burglaries entering their jurisdiction.
With prompt action, FCPD officers could locate and apprehend the driver of the vehicle before another burglary could occur. "Early yesterday morning, FLOCK cameras alerted FCPD officers that a burglary suspect’s vehicle had entered Foster City," the police stated. The arrest was a significant achievement for the department, given the history of burglaries and package thefts the suspect is linked to.
The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed as of this report, was booked into the county jail following the arrest. The individual is now facing charges that pertain to a series of burglaries in the area. The police department's statement also mentioned that solving these cases is a step forward in cracking down on this type of crime in the region. The Foster City community has expressed relief and gratitude towards the FCPD for their swift response, which likely prevented additional thefts.
