Last Saturday, a report of a burglary in progress brought San José Police Department officers to the scene of a business in the 2000 block of Lincoln Avenue. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Jose Plancarte of San José, allegedly gained entry through the roof and was discovered by officers barricaded within.
The attempts at coaxing Plancarte to surrender were met with refusal despite officers broadcasting several announcements. The San José Police Department, employing their K-9 Unit, eventually apprehended Plancarte after entering the building, according to an official SJPD news release. The arrest was complicated, but the unit's training secured Plancarte's capture. He was arrested and booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail for burglary and resisting arrest.
Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers is involved in the ongoing effort to curb crime, urging the public to submit anonymous tips via the P3TIPS mobile app, their phone line, or their website. They offer a financial incentive for information leading to an arrest, "If the information you submit leads to an arrest, you are eligible for a cash reward from the Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers Program," states the SJPD news release.
