Sheriff’s deputies responded to three construction site burglaries in San Carlos Wednesday that occurred overnight.
In all three thefts, the suspects took various electric construction tools, such as table saws, drills, nail guns and some hand tools. In all of the thefts, the tools were left unsecured inside the residence or garage, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
A vehicle of interest was seen in the area of one of the thefts on Tuesday morning driving by one of the scenes. It was described as a 2000-2006 GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Tahoe, brown, with large chrome wheel rims. Two light-skinned males were seen inside the vehicle, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Burlingame and Hillsborough police are also investigating a string of tool thefts in their cities, largely centered on construction sites. Burlingame police report close to a dozen such burglaries since November and Hillsborough police report 10 break-ins at residential construction sites in the past three months.
