Thieves take $60k in cash from Hercules home
HERCULES — Police said they were working to enhance surveillance-camera footage that apparently captured suspects who took $60,000 cash and two passports from a home, authorities said.
Just before 1 p.m. Tuesday, police received a call from the home in the 700 block of Turquoise Drive reporting the burglary.
When officers arrived, they learned that a homeowner left around 11:30 a.m. and returned around 12:45 p.m. to find their home ransacked.
A review of footage from a surveillance camera showed a gray newer-model Infiniti sedan pulling up out front at 12:18 p.m., with one suspect remaining inside while two suspects in dark clothing got out and went to the home’s rear.
About twenty minutes later, the suspects came back into camera view carrying items, and got into the Infiniti and rode off.
Officers found the home’s rear door had been pried open, with the cash and passports taken.
Investigators will work to enhance the footage, which did not initially show a license plate.
Anyone with information should call Hercules police at 510-724-1111.
