After dropping off some San Mateo residents at the airport, an Uber driver headed straight for their home to burglarize it, police say.
San Mateo officers arrested Jackie Gordon Wilson, 38, on April 5, a day after he completed the ride. He was booked on suspicion of attempted burglary and stealing from a home, the San Mateo Police Department said in a news release.
Officers responded to a residential burglary call Thursday evening at the Nash Drive home and found it had been ransacked. Several items had been stolen, officials said. Officers served a search warrant at Wilson’s Rancho Cordova home Friday and said they found items that had been taken from the Nash Drive home.“At the time of his arrest, Wilson was wearing the same clothing he had on while lurking around our quiet San Mateo neighborhood the day before,” the San Mateo Police Department said.
