An early-morning burst of car burglaries in Livermore ended with five arrests last Thursday, after officers pulled over a speeding silver sedan and recovered stolen property linked to the break-ins, police said.
How Officers Say They Caught the Suspects
Dispatchers began receiving multiple calls about masked individuals breaking into vehicles in the Lakeside Circle and Old Oak Road areas, according to police. As officers fanned out, they later spotted a silver sedan traveling at a high rate of speed near Normandy Way and Rhone Court.
The same vehicle was located as it exited Normandy Way onto eastbound Concannon Boulevard at about 3:07 AM, and officers conducted a high-risk stop at Tesla Road and Concannon Boulevard.
A search of the car turned up stolen property, and dispatch identified a victim, allowing officers to return a stolen set of golf clubs. Two suspects admitted involvement, and five people were ultimately taken into custody, identified by police as Abraham Pinal, 21, of San Jose; Daniel Rosos, 20, of San Jose; and Nicolas Gonzalez-Velasquez, 21, of San Jose, who is on Alameda County probation. Two juveniles from San Jose, ages 14 and 15, were also arrested, according to the Livermore Police Department.
A History of Vehicle Burglaries in Livermore
Vehicle larceny has been a recurring headache for Livermore residents. In mid-June 2025, officers arrested three juveniles in connection with 49 auto burglaries, according to the City of Livermore.
City officials and police have repeatedly urged residents to lock their vehicles, avoid leaving valuables inside, and park in well-lit areas to reduce the number of easy targets for thieves.
Investigation Ongoing
The Livermore Police Department said the investigation into last Thursday’s arrests remains active and officers are following up on additional leads. Anyone with information was asked to contact the department, according to the Livermore Police Department.
