RARE CASE: Meat Heist Foiled! 

January 7, 2025 – Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office officials report that Deputies responded to a steak situation at Safeway along Homestead Road in the City of Cupertino last week. Two suspects stole more than $1,000 worth of fine ribeye and other prime cuts! An observant employee outside saw the whole thing, described the thieves, and even got the license plate of their black Toyota Prius getaway car.

Thanks to Deputy Velasco's quick thinking, the suspects were caught at the home of the registered car with $1,200+ in stolen New Year's meat! Both were booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail.

Huge shoutout to the alert Safeway worker! The only thing well-done here was the teamwork!
