Today's dumb criminals - stealing electronics and computer stuff

| No Comments
from a company that manufactures high-resolution video surveillance equipment. From the Tri-Valley Herald:
Burglars nabbed after stealing from video surveillance firm
Three in custody, one sought after burglaries at Pleasanton businesses

Three of four men accused of stealing more than $50,000 in video equipment from two companies were arrested after they were caught by security cameras at one of the businesses -- a video surveillance company, police said.

I dont think there was any indication that they knew (what business they were burglarizing), Pleasanton police Sgt. Jim Knox said.

Two businesses at 4511 Willow Road reported break-ins Aug. 25 and 26 � Vigilant Video, a video surveillance company, and Darim Vision, a video and software company.

The two businesses share a common building, Knox said.

Police determined that the burglars broke a window to gain access, loaded computer and electronic equipment into a vehicle and left.

The break in the investigation came from the Vigilant Video surveillance tape, Knox said. The high-definition video captured four men carrying arm-loads of property out of the two businesses.

The video showed an initial burglary at 10:45 p.m. on Aug. 25. Then the men came back at 5:45 a.m. the next day for more.

A detective immediately recognized one of the four as 27-year-old Jason McHugh of Alamo.

Video stills of the other three were circulated among area law enforcement agencies and authorities identified them as Thomas Daly, 29, of Concord and Tracy Martin, 48, and Ronald Alvarez, 46, both of Alamo.

"The video camera that caught them was sitting in plain view," Knox said. "They all had criminal records."
Heh...
