San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a 42-year-old man they found inside a stolen car at the intersection of Holly Street and Industrial Road early Saturday.
Police booked Mark Anthony Castro into San Mateo County Jail on charges of possessing a stolen vehicle and burglary tools, officials said.
“A search of the vehicle revealed that Castro was in possession of altered keys that are commonly used to gain access to vehicles,” Sergeant David Smith from the San Carlos Police Bureau wrote in a news release.
