It’s a little early for would-be Grinches to steal toys, but deputies from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office still had to arrest a man who allegedly broke into two stores recently to steal toys and comic books.
At 3 a.m. March 22, video surveillance showed two men entering Crush Comics, at 2869 Castro Valley Blvd. In Castro Valley, and stealing merchandise.
Deputies developed probable cause and obtained an arrest warrant for one of the suspects, which they served Thursday in Livermore.
Deputies arrested 29-year-old Noorullah Amiri after allegedly finding stolen merchandise at the home, including nearly 200 boxes of LEGO sets, comic books and action figures.
Some of the toys were connected to the robbery of $10,000 worth of LEGO sets from another Bay Area store Wednesday.
