Two Arrested in Great Wolf Lodge Thanksgiving Car Burglary Spree as Third Suspect Sought

Police say evidence ties the case to similar Roseville break-ins, with the getaway car recovered.

Overview

  • Manteca detectives arrested Damiano Ray, 20, and Juan Mateo, 22, on Thursday outside the Roseville Courthouse after a hearing in an unrelated vehicle burglary case.
  • Both men were booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on suspicion of burglary, vandalism and conspiracy.
  • Investigators say three suspects smashed windows on 48 vehicles at the Manteca resort early Nov. 27, stealing electronics, personal documents and at least one firearm.
  • Police report the crew used a car stolen from Roseville, parked near a freeway off-ramp, and entered through a fence by the Highway 120 bypass before the vehicle was later recovered.
  • Detectives are pursuing the third suspect, expect to release clearer surveillance video, and say DNA from the scene may aid identification; tips: 209-456-8101.
