Burglars Apprehended in Act, Attempting to Flee with Stolen Goods

“A pair of burglars were caught in the act, trying to leave with hundreds of dollars of stolen goods from a second-hand store.

WPD Officers and K-9 Cruze responded to a report of a burglary in progress on the 500 block of Main Street. Both suspects, 26-year-old Robert Lee Buckman and 32-year-old Jose Alfredo Vallejo were caught by our Officers as they tried to leave through the back door that they had forced open.

Officers’ quick response allowed them to set up a perimeter and arrest the suspects within minutes of getting dispatched. The suspects caused more than $1,000 in damages to the business. Buckman also later confessed to Officers that he had stolen from the same store earlier that day.

Buckman and Vallejo were taken to the Santa Cruz County Jail, facing burglary and conspiracy charges.
