Man Linked To 40+ Commercial Burglaries In Livermore Arrested: LPD

LIVERMORE, CA — Livermore police said that they have identified and arrested a suspect in a major burglary ring that targeted commercial businesses, plumbing companies, auto shops, construction companies, and trucking businesses across the city.

Since September 2024, Livermore businesses, primarily in the industrial areas, have been impacted by more than 40 commercial burglaries, according to police. The suspects carried out multiple burglaries at night, where they stole vehicles, tools, and equipment worth thousands of dollars. Suspects burgled cars, stole cars and trucks, and crashed stolen trucks through roll-up doors to gain entry.

In November, Livermore police responded to an alarm activation at a business, which led to a vehicle pursuit with the suspect. The chase ended when the car was abandoned in Pleasanton. Investigators were eventually able to identify the suspect as a 36-year-old man from Oakland.

In January, the suspect was arrested by Oakland officers on a warrant after he was caught committing another car theft in Oakland, police said.

The suspect is believed to be responsible for the majority of commercial burglaries committed in Livermore between September and December 2024, and has been linked to similar crimes throughout the Bay Area, police said.

On Feb. 15, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office charged the suspect with 46 counts, largely for commercial and vehicle burglaries, with various enhancements.

Anyone with additional burglaries is asked to contact the Livermore Police Department's anonymous tip line at 925-371-4790.
