Police in northern California said that an Uber driver had been arrested for trying to break into the house of a pbadenger that he had dropped off at the airport from San Francisco, and then burglarized the home of a neighbor. The San Mateo Police Department announced Monday that police on Friday arrested Jackie Gordon Wilson, 38, at his home in Rancho Cordova. According to officials, the surveillance video shows Wilson trying to sneak into his pbadenger's home in San Mateo but giving up after the alarm goes off. Police said that Wilson then went to another house a few blocks away and was videotaped, according to the AP. Both houses had Ring monitoring systems, which recorded videos from the bells.
The police department said Wilson was arrested at his home, where detectives found stolen property at San Mateo's home. Wilson faces a burglary and attempted burglary charges. He wore "the same clothes that he wore while he was hidden in our quiet San Mateo the day before," police said. The owners who were robbed say that Wilson spent four hours ransacking their home. They say that Uber should do more to filter drivers and that they will think twice before using carpool services. "He had openly announced that" in 2017, he had been out of jail for six months for robbery, "KGO told the woman, who examined the suspect's social networking accounts. "I was shocked."
