Burglary, Credit Card Fraud Linked To San Mateo Man: Sheriff's

SAN CARLOS, CA -- A burglary-turned-credit-card-caper landed a San Mateo man in jail on suspicion of grand and identity theft as well as vehicle tampering, San Mateo County Sheriff's officials announced Wednesday.

Sheriff's deputies investigated a vehicle burglary in San Carlos on Jan. 19 and discovered the victim's stolen credit cards were used for fraudulent purchases. Deputies later identified Gabriel Cole Clancyclavere, 22, of San Mateo, as the suspect and issued a $20,000 warrant for his arrest.
