The San Mateo Police Department said Monday officers arrested 38-year-old Jackie Wilson Friday at his home in Rancho Cordova.
Officials say surveillance video shows Gordon trying to break into his passenger’s San Mateo home but giving up after an alarm sounds.
Police say Gordon then went to another home a few blocks away and was caught on video burglarizing it.
The suspect “tore apart the whole house,” one of the residents, who only wished to be identified by his first name, Scott.
Among the items Wilson allegedly stole was a Holocaust-era heirloom that Scott’s girlfriend, Chana, inherited from her grandmother.
The department says Wilson was arrested at his home, where detectives found some of the stuff stolen from the San Mateo home.
Gordon faces burglary and attempted burglary charges.
