A 62-year-old Sunnyvale woman was arrested Nov. 9 on suspicion of stealing jade jewelry during an estate sale at an Atherton home, police said.

The theft occurred Nov. 7 on Adam Way and was reported the following evening, according to the Atherton Police Department. After reviewing surveillance footage showing a woman taking a piece of jade jewelry from inside the home during the sale, police said they used Flock automated license plate readers to identify a suspect vehicle, then located the suspect through further investigation.

As of Nov. 11, no charges have been filed against the suspect. This news organization does not name people accused of a crime until the District Attorney’s Office has made a decision whether to file charges.
