Further review of security video identified a 2000s model white Jeep Cherokee that is linked to the burglary suspects, according to Hillsborough PD. The Jeep had a stolen license plate belonging to another vehicle, police said.
The white Jeep was seen on video “dropping off the suspects, circling the neighborhood, and returning approximately 15 minutes later to pick them up,” authorities said.
Anyone with information on the burglaries is asked to contact the Hillsborough Police Department at 650-375-7470.
