A 37-year-old San Leandro man was arrested Aug. 31 in connection with four car vandalism cases reported in the city, police said.
Darrian Hardaway was reportedly caught on surveillance footage allegedly breaking into a parked car’s window in the 200 block of Garcia Avenue on Aug. 18, according to the police.
The San Leandro Police Department also investigated two similar vandalisms in the 200 block of Cambridge Avenue and the 200 block of Belleview Drive on Aug. 28.
The police said that information from a community member and surveillance footage led them to identify Hardaway as the suspect.
On Aug. 31, a fourth vandalism was reported in the 100 block of Farrelly Drive, where the victim heard glass breaking and called the police, SLPD said.
The SLPD located Hardaway, who initially fled on foot, but was detained by officers without incident, authorities noted.
Hardaway was booked into the San Leandro Jail for four cases of alleged vandalism.
Additionally, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office charged Hardaway with felony vandalism, felony evading a peace officer, and filed an enhancement alleging he committed the offense while released from custody on a separate felony matter, police said.
