Vallejo Man Charged By Contra Costa District Attorney In Connection With $25,000 Retail Theft From Target In Walnut Creek, San Ramon

A Vallejo man has been charged by the Contra Costa County District Attorney with multiple counts of second-degree commercial burglary and grand theft for allegedly stealing nearly $25,000 worth of merchandise from Target in Walnut Creek and San Ramon. 32-year-old Michael Ivory Fletcher is currently in custody at the Martinez Detention Facility, awaiting a preliminary hearing on a 12-count felony complaint filed in court on February 20. Fletcher’s offenses go beyond Contra Costa County. He is suspected of thefts in Solano, Alameda, San Joaquin, Sonoma, and Santa Clara Counties. The thefts at Target stores in Walnut Creek and San Ramon occurred between August 15, 2024, and February 15, 2025. Fletcher’s actions followed a similar method of entering a store alone, filling up a shopping cart of LEGO products, and exiting with the stolen merchandise in a matter of minutes. Before fleeing from a store, authorities say he would load the stolen items in a vehicle parked in a disabled parking space. His bail has been set at $467,500.
