On Feb. 21, police received a report that a known suspect was selling stolen tools from a residence in the 6700 block of Mason Valley Drive. On Feb. 25, detectives executed a search warrant at the home and recovered hundreds of stolen tools. Also on that date, Amilcar D. Palucho, 43, of the 6700 block of Mason Valley Drive, was arrested and charged with receiving stolen goods and larceny with intent to sell; both charges are felonies. Additional charges are pending.
