SAN PABLO — A Rodeo man’s smoking habit may have done him after police used DNA from a discarded butt to link him to a $106,000 burglary, court records show.
The 50-year-old Rodeo resident was arrested on Feb. 11 on suspicion of commercial burglary, a felony, but he has not yet been charged, court records show. He was booked on a $20,000 warrant and later released.
The Nov. 26 burglary targeted a veterinary hospital on the 400 block of Valley View Road in El Sobrante. Staff there reported a loss of $106,000 worth of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, authorities said.
