Three Arrested For Alleged San Carlos Burglary

Three East Palo Alto males arrested after alleged burglaries including a San Carlos home.

Three East Palo Alto males were arrested Thursday after a vehicle search turned up stolen items including rare coins and jewelry stolen from a San Carlos home earlier that day, and watches that two of the suspects were wearing openly on their wrists, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.

The trio, two men and a boy, was stopped for a minor traffic offense around 2:30 p.m. Thursday by San Mateo County sheriff's Deputy Scott Berberian on Fair Oaks Avenue near Edison Way in unincorporated Redwood City.

The deputy was watching for suspicious activity because the North Fair Oaks area had experienced several recent burglaries, sheriff's officials
said.
