""It appears, from seeing other cases, he was very comfortable on a school campus. He would give various excuses that he was parent, when he was confronted, at times. Or, he would say that he was a staff member,""
""He would find unoccupied classrooms and enter a classroom, and go through and steal their IDs, their credit cards. A lot of people did not even know they were victims until they got home and started getting fraud alerts,""
""Suspect arrived in a rental car that we believed he was driving at the time. There was a marked unit in the parking lot,""
""Our officer called Walnut Creek PD, told them why he was there and who he was after, and they were able to respond quickly with units -- and they were able to catch him.""
Fremont police arrested a man in Walnut Creek accused of stealing teachers' IDs and credit cards from unoccupied classrooms. The suspect reportedly posed as a parent or staff member and appeared comfortable on school campuses. Many victims discovered the thefts only after receiving fraud alerts at home. Fremont officers tracked the suspect returning a rental car and coordinated with Walnut Creek police to make the arrest. The suspect is wanted for similar thefts in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, Solano and Yolo counties. The Fremont Unified School District deferred questions to law enforcement.
