WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (KRON) — A man was arrested last week after being linked to a number of home burglaries in Walnut Creek and parts of unincorporated Contra Costa County, the city of Walnut Creek announced in a news release Wednesday. Keith Stevenson, a 42-year-old Brentwood resident, was arrested in San Francisco on March 7 after police obtained a warrant.

One of the burglaries Stevenson is accused of happened Jan. 26 around 10:26 a.m. at a home on the 400 block of Castle Rock Road. Within three minutes, Walnut Creek Police Department (WCPD) officers arrived and saw the suspect drive away.

Police then chased the suspect eastbound on Ygnacio Valley Road but ended their pursuit because of the suspect’s reckless driving, the release said.

An investigation later determined Stevenson was the suspect in the January burglary but also another burglary investigated by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office.
