Overview
- Local police arrested four juveniles in connection with roughly 37 vehicle and residential burglaries in Concord and linked them to about 40 additional burglaries across Contra Costa and Solano counties.
- Investigators say the suspects broke into vehicles early in the morning, took garage‑door openers and used them to enter garages and steal power tools, vehicles and sometimes firearms.
- A coordinated search of a 37‑year‑old Oakland resident’s home recovered about $250,000 in property, including an estimated 500 power tools, a stolen ATV, a stolen forklift and an unregistered firearm.
- Oakland resident Wuillian Cordova‑Cubias was charged with receiving stolen property, receiving a stolen motor vehicle, conspiracy with juvenile accomplices and unlawful firearm possession as a prohibited person.
- County officials stress the case shows how fencing networks amplify vehicle and garage‑entry thefts and say prosecutions through the Organized Theft Unit aim to disrupt resale pipelines and reduce risks to homeowners and contractors.
