Four people were arrested this week on auto burglary charges after reports from a home and the Stoneridge Shopping Center, police reports said.
Three people were arrested Dec. 12 after a resident in the 5200 block of Pleasant Hill Road called police to report a suspicious person looking in car windows at around 4:30 a.m. Police discovered three people in a car nearby, according to a report, which said credit cards and IDs fell out of the car when the driver got out.
Michael Joseph Jeske, 41, and Robert Lee Cargia, 40, both of Gilroy, were charged with five counts each of possession of stolen property, as was Mary Margaret Morgan, 38, of Salinas. Garcia was also arrested on a charge of possessing lock-picking tools, and Jeske was arrested on a charge of possession of a non-narcotic controlled substance.
Ruben Cruz Ochoa, 29, of Richmond was arrested at Stoneridge Shopping Center on Dec. 11 after both a wary shopper and mall security reported a suspicious person driving slowly through multiple lanes of parked cars. Police received the first call at about 1:49 p.m. and witnesses identified Ochoa as the person they’d seen.
A search of Ochoa’s car turned up screwdrivers, car stereo wires, wire cutters, cell phones and two apple iPods. A separate auto burglary of a stereo was linked to the thefts.
In other police reports:
A nine-foot-tall menorah was stolen in a burglary at Congregation Beth Emek in 3400 block of Nevada Court. The menorah, valued at $3,000, was last seen in a storage building Oct. 9. It was reported stolen at 11:16 a.m. Dec. 9; a door may have been left unlocked.
A residential burglary in the 3400 block of Cornerstone Court netted a $1,000 Gateway laptop and a $1,000 central processing unit. The burglary, which occurred between 5:15 p.m. Dec. 5 and 8:05 a.m. Dec. 6, also yielded $230 cash and keys.
Marquise Deshean Ceasar-Smith, 23, faces a misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon after a report from a woman at Stoneridge Mall. Police detected the odor of marijuana from Ceasar-Smith’s car during a subsequent stop and a search led to the weapons charge.

Live near Pleasant Hill Road/Muirwood. I notice we have a lot of door to door people in the neighborhood between 2 and 3 pm when many people are at work and kids are not home from school yet. I don’t open the door for any of them. They still knock and ring the bell despite the no soliciting sign. Either they can’t read or don’t know what that means. They comment on our security cameras, I hear everything they say. Some of these people are extremely rude. It seems it’s my fault I won’t open the door, buy their product/service, I must owe them my time, and they are on my property. These people will intimidate your children, so please advise them to call the police if they don’t feel safe. These people are creepy.
Can anyone tell me what these people are trying to sell? I’m thinking they are just scoping out the neighborhood to come back and commit crimes later. I heard noises outside around 2-3 am on Monday night but could not determine where they were and what they might be doing.
Resident– YOU should call the cops if they’re creepy and you’re hearing noises at all times of the day/night. They’ll come out and talk to the doorknockers and goodness knows what they’ll find!
Props to two groups: The police for their diligence and the citizens who call this stuff in! Keep up the good work everyone!
Just wondering if there is a permit needed to solicit? Editor? Anyone?
I live in a PUD, with No Soliciting signs at the entrance.
Seems many of these people are “casing” the area, trying doors, etc. Most do NOT come from our city. I had one come into my side yard, despite the gate and the Beware of Dog sign. Set the dogs barking.
Did call the police, and they said they’d respond. Don’t know what happened…
What can you do? Don’t buy from these strangers. And call police right away. If nothing else it helps establish a pattern.
I also suggest you take a cell phone or camera to the door and get a picture, so if something happens you’ll have a better image of them. And note unusual vehicles on your street.
Two days ago, a couple of Mormons trespassed up my sidewalk and rang my doorbell. How creepy is that?
