A 29-year-old Livermore man was taken into custody this week for two alleged thefts the week prior of thousands of dollars in property.

Upon receiving a report from a school resource officer of an electric bicycle that was stolen from a high school student who'd secured it in the bike storage unit at his campus on March 16, officers with the Livermore Police Department (LPD) identified a suspect via surveillance footage, according to a statement from the department.

After serving a search warrant at the suspect's home on Monday (March 20), officers discovered property that had been reported stolen in a burglary at the Granada Little League fields at Max Baer Park the day prior on March 15, as well as other stolen property.

The stolen sports equipment was valued at $3,500 and the e-bike was valued at $2,400, according to police.

The suspect was taken into custody on Wednesday (March 22) at a different residence, after which police discovered stolen property from a number of other thefts, including two scooters, a credit card and three Ring cameras, with some of the property coming from a recent vehicle burglary. Livermore Police is currently in the process of contacting all the victims.
