FREMONT, CA — A 32-year-old transient remained on "searchable probation" this weekend, Fremont police said, after he was arrested twice last Wednesday, the second time about five hours after he was released from jail after the first arrest.
Fremont police said Gabriel Lopez was arrested Wednesday after officers saw him casing the businesses at the Mission Valley Shopping Center.
Lopez was arrested on suspicion of possession a stolen pickup truck and on three outstanding warrants. The stolen pickup had been observed at the scene of numerous other commercial burglaries in the past month, police said.

That same day, at 2:22 p.m., Lopez was arrested again for possession of another stolen vehicle and trailer.

He was issued another citation with a November court date, police said.
Detectives have linked Lopez and the stolen truck to numerous other commercial burglaries in Fremont.
In several cases, Lopez and an associate are seen wearing construction vests despite not being construction workers. Two cases have already been charged by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, both scheduled for November court hearings.
