JPD said in a release today that arrest warrants were issued December 4th for 4 people in connection with the early morning burglaries January 1st of this year at the Jackson Coldwell Banker Real Estate Office and an attached apartment. JPD said those facing charges are already in custody elsewhere for similar crimes. Facing charges in the Jackson crimes are Michael Oneill, 24, of Ripon; and 3 Tracy residents: Brian Correll, 26, Aaron Johnson, 24, and Jennifer Cowan, 24. The 4 were charged with first and second degree burglaries. The investigation by Jackson Police “revealed that the 4 accused suspects checked into a room at the Jackson Lodge on New Year’s Eve,” December 31st, 2008. JPD said: “The burglary was discovered when the occupant of the apartment below Coldwell Banker returned home around 4:30 a.m. The investigation revealed that the suspects made entry into the apartment and then into Coldwell Banker through a common door.” Both locations were ransacked and approximately $25,000 in jewelry, personal items and computers were stolen. JPD said: “The investigation focused on the 4 suspects soon after their departure from the Jackson Lodge as they left a multitude of items taken in the burglaries.” Additional stolen items were recovered a couple of weeks later when Oneill and Johnson were arrested at a motel room in Tracy. JPD said all 4 suspects are currently in custody elsewhere on similar but unrelated charges as they were linked to numerous burglaries in the San Joaquin Valley.
