Four men have been arrested for auto theft in two separate cases, according to police reports.
In one case, a call that started with a report of a vehicle stolen from an apartment complex in the 5600 Owens Drive led to the arrest of two men.
Officers spotted a different stolen vehicle that had been left at the complex; based on the recovered vehicle, police were led to the sister of a suspect, Bobby Charles Bolin.
Bolin, 31, a transient, was arrested for felony auto theft and felony ammunition possession along with misdemeanor counts of possession of burglary tools, receiving stolen property and paraphernalia possession.
Also arrested in the incident was a passenger, Iran Eory Cortes, 31, of Los Gatos, who was wanted on outstanding felony warrants for embezzlement out of Calaveras County and auto theft out of Stanislaus County and a misdemeanor count of falsely identifying himself to police. The two were taken into custody at about 8:35 p.m. Dec. 27 in the 40700 block of Laguna Place in Fremont.
In the second case, Enrique Steven Hernandez, 34, and Jacob Louis Lanfranco, 29, both of Milpitas, were arrested at about 4:15 p.m. Dec. 29 for felony auto theft. The two were also arrested for committing a felony while on bail; Hernandez was also arrested for felony possession of methamphetamine.
Police received a call about suspicious men behind Jay’s Auto in the 4000 block of Pimlico Drive. When police arrived, the two men were standing across the street. A search led police to the stolen vehicle.
In other police reports:

So pleased that our capable and resourceful police were able to spot a second abandoned stolen car at the 5600 Owens Drive incident, leading to multiple arrests. It is not uncommon for thieves to leave one stolen car as they take another. Happened to me, too. Older pickups are especially vulnerable, as are older Hondas.
Just a few bad actors can be responsible for many crimes.
So catching these guys, who also committed crimes in other places, will reduce crime everywhere!
Keep up the good work!
Editor- can you follow up and let us the legal out come?
Lock you car, but if it is stolen, look for any out of place vehicles.
You can count on the PPD to do their job! VIVA PPD!
clink!
