LOS GATOS (BCN) -- Two people suspected in a string of auto and home burglaries in  Los Gatos were arrested Monday morning.

Officers were notified Sunday that 10 auto and home burglaries had  occurred overnight in the 15800 block of Camino Del Cerro, along Adrian  Place, and in the 300 block of Escobar Avenue.

On Monday morning, an officer on patrol stopped a suspicious  vehicle on Camino Del Cerro and found that both the driver and passenger were  on probation. The driver, identified as Billy Auston, 29, also had a  suspended license.

A search of the vehicle turned up property allegedly stolen in the  burglaries, police said.

Items were also recovered from bushes at Camino Del Cerro and  Luray Drive.

The items included a Hewlett-Packard laptop, purses, credit cards,  a digital camera, jewelry, a Coach wallet, gift cards, cash, a portable DVD  player, and a Dell computer.

Auston and his passenger, Monica Verni, 23, were arrested for  possession of stolen property, police said.

Police believe the pair burglarized both locked and unlocked  vehicles, smashing the windows of the locked cars to gain access.

In one case, police said, they allegedly entered an unlocked car  parked on the street in front of a home in the 100 block of Blossom Glen Way  and used a garage door opener inside of the glove box to get into the home's  garage.

Inside the garage, they allegedly burglarized another unlocked  car, removing a purse and wallet, police said.

Police are continuing to investigate and urge anyone with  information about the case to contact Detective Erin Lunsford at (408)  827-3209.
