Pleasanton police arrested two people on suspicion of identity theft and possession of burglary tools after they were allegedly found with the tools, a sack of U.S Postal Service mail and a ring of post office keys.

Andrew Michael Diaz, 36, of Antioch, and 21-year-old Casey Joe Whitlatch, whose residence was not released, were arrested near the intersection of Las Lomitas Drive and Oak Circle and booked into Santa Rita Jail early Friday morning.

A Pleasanton police officer who'd been patrolling the area pulled them over and searched the car after he smelled marijuana, police stated.

The officer found a bag full of mail that didn't belong to Diaz and Whitlatch, credit cards, check books and notebooks full of handwritten names and social security numbers, according to police reports. Police said they also found black gloves, a flashlight and a ring of 51 postal service keys.

Diaz and Whitlatch also had cases pending for identity theft and possession of stolen property, police stated.

A copy of the investigation report was sent to the U.S. postal inspector, police stated.

As of Monday, Whitlatch was being held in lieu of $235,000 bail, and Diaz was being held in lieu of $340,000 bail.
