Amador County – Jackson police have in custody the suspect in a string of auto burglaries that occurred last August in Jackson. Aaron Vance, a 21-year-old resident of San Andreas in Calaveras County, confessed and subsequently self-surrendered on November 23 after an investigation by Jackson Police Detective Douglas Grey. On the morning of August 7, Jackson Police Officer Mark Harmon responded to ten different auto burglaries in which “each of the victim vehicles had been ramsacked and numerous unsecured items stolen,” according to a press release. Harmon eventually obtained a “surveillance photo from a local business camera where the suspect had attempted to use a credit card that was stolen during the crime spree.” Grey then distributed the photo to “surrounding allied law enforcement agencies as well as local probation and parole offices.” A Calaveras County Probation Officer identified the suspect as Vance. After agreeing to an interview at the Jackson Police station, Vance was confronted with evidence and confessed to committing the burglaries. This email address is being protected from spambots.
