Modesto Cops Crack Down on Home Invasion Suspects, Possible Link to Union City Incident
Four suspects, ranging in age from 14 to 22, were taken into custody by Modesto police after a tense standoff that resulted in the recovery of multiple firearms. The group was linked to an attempted home invasion in Union City last week, where social media footage showed the same white Ford Taurus involved.
According to investigators, officers and detectives tracked down the suspects after a pursuit, which led them to the group's hideout. Modesto police stated that they believe the suspects may also be connected to the earlier incident in Union City, citing a common vehicle and similar modus operandi.
In the Union City incident, a family member spotted "several armed suspects" outside their home last week at around 7:45 am, prompting them to call the authorities. Security cameras captured the event, and video clips were widely shared on social media, helping investigators identify the suspects.
The group of four males was described as wearing masks and hoodies, with at least two of them carrying pistols. The Modesto police have not released any further details about the suspects' backgrounds or motivations but are working closely with Union City authorities to piece together the events leading up to the attempted home invasion.
