Two San Jose men were arrested Tuesday after Redwood City officers used automated license plate reader technology to track a vehicle linked to a January theft of more than $4,000 in merchandise from a motorcycle store, police said.
The theft occurred Jan. 29 at the Cycle Gear store at 2426 El Camino Real, according to the Redwood City Police Department. Investigators said two suspects entered the store, grabbed multiple clothing items, and quickly left without paying before driving away in a red Subaru Impreza.
A store employee captured an image of the vehicle and its license plate, which investigators later entered into the department’s ALPR system.
At 12:17 p.m. Tuesday, officers received an alert that the vehicle had been detected in Redwood City. Police found the car on the 1900 block of El Camino Real and conducted a traffic stop.
Three people were inside the vehicle — two men and one woman. Officers identified the two men as the suspects involved in the January theft.
Cristian Alexis SilvaGarcia, 33, and Josiah Alexander Delamora, 26, both of San Jose, were arrested and booked into the San Mateo County Maguire Correctional Facility on suspicion of grand theft, police said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Redwood City Police Department’s nonemergency line at (650) 780-7100.
