Two men have been arrested for allegedly burglarizing a storage space at a Mountain View apartment complex on Monday evening, Feb. 4, according to Mountain View police.

Shortly before 6 p.m., police responded to a call from a resident who claimed to have seen two men breaking into a storage unit at the Americana Apartments at 707 Continental Circle, said Sgt. Sean Thompson, police public information officer.

Following a tip that the burglars had fled the scene in a dark truck, officers quickly came upon a vehicle matching that description parked at the Goodwill store at 855 E. El Camino Real, just around the corner from where the burglary took place, Thompson said.

A man standing outside the truck apparently saw police pulling into the Goodwill parking lot and fled on foot, while officers detained another man, who they found sitting inside the truck, Thompson said. Officers caught up with the man who fled at the neighboring Lucky supermarket.

The man officers found in the truck was identified as 33-year-old Los Altos resident Lawrence Ovadia, the other man was identified as 28-year-old Mountain View resident Sterling Winterhalter, according to Thompson.

A variety of stolen property was found in the truck. Detectives are currently working to match stolen property to victims, Thompson said.
