BRENTWOOD – Antonio R. Zamora, a resident of Brentwood, has been arrested twice since he turned 18. Zamora is now being held in custody in lieu of $80,000 bond. His hands were bleeding when he was arrested on February 26 at 3:40 a.m.

Evidently, Zamora committed multiple vehicle burglaries, including some in the vicinity of Bartlett Court and Malaga Way. Brentwood officers were dispatched at approximately 2 a.m., when a victim reported a vehicle burglary.

The victim heard glass breaking, looked outside and saw their vehicle window shattered. The crook dressed all in black clothing was seen running away from the victim’s car.

Zamora evidently cut his hands while smashing vehicle windows. His hands were literally bleeding DNA evidence. In fact, responding officers found blood at one of the crime scenes. However, the suspect was gone.

A Brentwood Sergeant, who was patrolling the area, contacted a man matching the description of the suspect. Property stolen during vehicle burglaries was recovered. Upon further investigation, Zamora was identified as the suspect in eight vehicle burglaries. In addition, he is also a suspect in one attempted vehicle burglary.

Zamora was arrested and transported to the Martinez Detention Facility and booked for multiple counts of burglary. Last October, he was arrested by Martinez police for driving in that city without a license. Brentwood PD drove him to Martinez—this time.
