Amador County – The Jackson Police Department announced the arrest of a suspect in an early August string of 10 automobile burglaries in Jackson, made possible by the help of the Calaveras County Probation Office. JPD announced the arrest of Aaron Vance, 21, of San Andreas. Jackson Police Officer Mark Harmon responded on the morning of August 7th to reports of 10 auto burglaries throughout Jackson. JPD said “through further investigation, officer Harmon was able to obtain a surveillance photo from a local business security camera where the suspect had attempted to use a credit card that was stolen during the crime spree.” Detective Douglas Grey was then assigned to the case for further action. Grey “distributed the suspect’s photograph to surrounding allied law enforcement agencies as well as local probation and parole offices.” A Calaveras County probation officer recognized the suspect as Vance and notified Grey, who contacted the suspect and interviewed him at the Jackson police station. During the interview, faced with direct evidence, Vance confessed to the burglaries. An arrest warrant was issued and he surrendered to JPD November 23rd.
