"The first occurred around 9:25 p.m. on the 3900 block of Nelson Drive, police said in a statement. The house's resident, a woman in her 30s, saw two people in masks break through a back sliding door. She called the police, and the intruders fled in a dark-colored car when officers arrived, the statement said. Minutes later, police received a call from a man one street over, on the 400 block of El Capitan Place, saying he'd returned home and his house looked like it had been ransacked."
"The man, who's in his 40s, reported hearing a loud noise and his child saw someone crawling on the floor before they left the house and called police, according to the statement. Police said the burglar entered the house by breaking a glass sliding door. Officers couldn't find the suspects despite help from a San Jose Police Department helicopter and a San Mateo County Sheriff's Office K9 unit. Police say they haven't determined if anything was stolen from either house."
"A third burglary was reported at 10:15 p.m. on the 1000 block of Cardinal Way - over two miles from the other two incidents. Police say the burglar broke in by smashing a sliding window in the back of the house and that several pieces of jewelry were missing. The house's resident wasn't home when the burglary took place. Police haven't identified a suspect in any of the cases."

A nearby home on El Capitan Place was later found ransacked after a burglar broke a glass sliding door; a child reported seeing someone crawling on the floor. A third burglary on Cardinal Way involved a smashed rear sliding window and multiple pieces of jewelry stolen while the resident was away. Officers, assisted by a San Jose police helicopter and a San Mateo County Sheriff's K9 unit, did not locate suspects. Police have not identified any suspects and are investigating whether the incidents are related. Residents are urged to lock side gates, windows and doors overnight.
