Two suspects were arrested Wednesday morning in connection with the theft of over $15,000 in power tools and other merchandise from five Bay Area Home Depot stores in the last week, a public information officer with the San Ramon Police Department said.
Police received the call from managers of the Home Depot on Crow Canyon Road in San Ramon just after 7 a.m. on Wednesday morning. According to the police spokesperson, employees were already familiar with the pair of suspects.
“They had stolen from enough Home Depots in the Bay Area that they were circulating flyers in the stores,” the officer said. “One of the employees recognized them as repeat offenders.”
Employees monitored the suspects inside while police set up a perimeter in the parking lot. Upon taking the suspects into custody and searching their vehicle, police discovered the pair had stolen an additional $3,000 worth of merchandise from a Brentwood Home Depot the day before.
A 29-year-old suspect from Concord is on parole for “weapons and stolen property-related charges,” while another 30-year-old suspect from Pittsburg is “on felony probation for possession of stolen property,” according to a statement from the San Ramon Police Department.
A search of the suspects’ vehicle revealed narcotics, USPS mailbox keys, stolen mail, fraudulent credit cards and other tools police believe to be stolen, according to the statement. Police also found recent receipts from Home Depot stores in Martinez, Antioch and Pittsburg with transactions placed from the fraudulent credit cards, the spokesperson said.

Why bother? They won’t be prosecuted and won’t ever see the inside of a jail. It’s totally pointless.
They print the ages of the two thieves but not their names.

The Traitor Media give some people cloaks of invisibility.
I know that store. In San Ramon, let's just say that they would stand out.

So. I guess they got out and are back at it again...
Thanks Lee. We’ll be sure to find them now...
I think they already did, but point well taken.

Can’t they announce these on Craigslist so we can get in on them? I could use another $949 in Ryobi cordless crap. /s
