Two people were arrested Monday night for breaking into a rental car parked one night earlier on the 100 block of East Fourth Avenue in San Mateo and made off with a purse and luggage that contained electronic devices and jewelry worth more than $130,000, according to police.
At about 7:40 p.m. Oct. 17, two suspects, Njeri Harambe, 28, of Oakland, and Antonio Taylor, 42, of San Francisco, were arrested in Menlo Park in connection with the auto burglary the night before at about 8:09 p.m., according to San Mateo police.
At that time, police received a call from a witness who saw someone break a car window, steal a purse from the vehicle, then get into a gray minivan and flee the scene. During the initial investigation, officers were able to get descriptions of the two suspects, the getaway vehicle and the license plate number of the suspect car, according to police.
Menlo Park police had located the suspect vehicle in their city and detained the two occupants, Njeri Harambe and Antonio Taylor. San Mateo officers responded to where Harambe and Taylor were located to further the investigation. Harambe and Taylor were identified as the auto burglary suspects, arrested for multiple charges, and booked into San Mateo County Jail.
This investigation is still on going as officers attempt to recover the stolen property.
Anyone with any information about this crime is asked to contact SMPD at (650) 522-7700.
