Pleasant Hill Police arrested two 19-year-old men in connection with the 30+ vehicle burglaries in the Ellinwood are of Pleasant Hill.
We previously reported the incident the day after it occurred, and now, Pleasant Hill Police are providing an update.
The following is from the Pleasant Hill Police Department:
Overnight between 2/3/2023 and 2/4/2023, multiple vehicles were burglarized in the Ellinwood area.
Pleasant Hill Police Patrol Officers and Detectives immediately began to investigate the case. Detectives identified a suspect vehicle, and stolen property was tracked to two different locations, in Antioch and Elk Grove.
During surveillance, the suspect vehicle was seen at both locations.
Detectives sought and were granted search warrants for both locations.
On 2/9/2023, a joint group of PHPD Patrol Officers, Detectives, the K9 unit, the drone team, and the CSI team served the warrants at both locations.
A search of the target locations resulted in the recovery of stolen property from the auto burglaries, evidence of the crimes like window punches, gloves, and face masks, a handgun magazine and ammunition in possession of a person who was not legally allowed to possess those items, and a credit card embosser.
Two suspects were identified and interviewed during the search warrant service – a 19 year old male adult out of Antioch, and a 19 year old male adult out of Elk Grove.
PHPD Detectives are actively working to return the recovered property to the victims in this case. The results of the investigation will be forwarded to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office for review and filing of appropriate charges.

Excellent job Law Enforcement ! ! !
Let the plea bargaining commence, to save county cost of a trial.
Well done and quickly done! I love our law enforcement! I really resent though, our liberal judges and DA. They will try to undo everything out of misplaced compassion for the wrong parties. I’m wondering if this isn’t why people come from out of the area to do crimes here.
That’s nice and all. But y’all need talk about the under cover cops bulling innocent people here in phill.
Seriously doubt they are innocent..
Get over it already.
The better the Zip Code the better the pickings.
Whats a phill
It’s inconsistent for the media to refer to these suspects as “19-year old men” but when they want to pull at heart strings and manipulate their audience, they refer to them in articles as “teens”.
While technically accurate, journalists should remove emotion and bias when reporting, and use their words without including these subtle attempts to manipulate the public.
.
“face masks, a handgun magazine and ammunition in possession of a person who was not legally allowed to possess those items, ” I see those gun laws working to prevent gun violence.
You voted for the liberal elected officials, they appointed liberal judges, learn to live with the crime.
And the officers are #1 to jail for Becton, so why should they attempt to prevent crime.
