The Hollister Police Department this week arrested two suspects they allege were involved in multiple residential burglaries, according to a press statement.
At 11:29 a.m. Wednesday, Officer Rudy Rodriguez stopped a vehicle matching the description of an automobile that had been used in a number of home burglaries, the report stated. The driver, Marcos Aguirres, 30, was found to be unlicensed and was placed under arrest. According to the release, a search of the vehicle revealed a credit card stolen during a Nov. 25 burglary on Gabilan Drive.
Police investigated further and learned that the suspect is an associate of Dacia Perez, 28, who resides on San Lorenzo Drive.
San Benito County probation officers and Hollister police searched that resident’s home and in the garage found “a number of stolen items that were linked to recent residential burglaries in the City of Hollister,” according to the statement.
“Among the items recovered were computers, video games and players, jewelry, digital cameras, and video cameras,” it read.
