By Town Crier Staff Report

A May 2 burglary at a residence between Magdalena Avenue and El Monte Road in unincorporated Los Altos Hills spurred a suspect search that involved assistance from a low-flying San Jose police helicopter and mutiple inquiries from curious residents.

Sheriff’s deputy Terrance Helm with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department said San Jose police had a helicopter in the area and assisted deputies in the search for a suspect who was “never located, never spotted.” Officers responded to a call from residents who discovered their home had been burglarized and jewelry stolen.

“The residents got home and the dog was going crazy,” said Helm, who declined to give the address.
