Just as many Menlo Park residents prepared to leave work on Thursday, police officers found themselves busy responding to a report of a suspicious truck.
Officers were called to the 700 block of Roble Avenue around 4:21 p.m., and then discovered the truck a few blocks away on Yale Avenue.
According to the Aug. 2 police report, the truck contained two bikes, burglary tools, drugs, stolen property, and three people.
The trio of suspects became a duo for a few short moments as one tried to run away on foot. Police gave chase and detained all three in time to hear the owners of the bikes report that a short while ago, the bicycles had been sitting in their carport.
Paul Gunning, 40, and companions Eric Espino, 26, and Maria Soreque, 32, all of San Jose, were arrested on charges including possession of burglary tools, stolen property and conspiracy to commit crime. Police continue to investigate.
Anyone with information may contact Menlo Park police 330-6300.

Posted by cyclist, a resident of the Menlo Park: Linfield Oaks neighborhood, on Aug 6, 2012 at 12:14 pm So many locked bikes have been stolen from so many carports in Menlo Park, including ours. I'm hoping that these guys were responsible for a large number of those thefts. It would be nice to breathe a little easier.
Nice work, MPPD. Thanks, observant neighbors!

Posted by annoyed, a resident of the Menlo Park: Downtown neighborhood, on Aug 10, 2012 at 5:38 pm people need to listen a little closer to their folks when they are growing up, take the help they give you over and over again and use it wisely, instead of breaking (in this case your FATHER'S HEART)
