18-Year-Old Castro Valley Woman Jailed for Investigation of Burglary

An 18-year-old Castro Valley woman and three Hayward teenage boys were arrested Monday in connection to a residential burglary in a northern Livermore neighborhood called Springtown,  Sgt. Erin Cole said.

Ashley Archer is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in Department 701 of the Gale-Schenone Hall of Justice in Pleasanton. She faces charges of burglary and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

She is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, and her bail is set at $55,000.

The 17-year-old arrested is facing a burglary charge, while a 16-year-old arrested is facing charges of burglary and possession of stolen property, Cole said.

The other 16-year-old arrested is facing charges of burglary and providing a false identity to a police officer. He also had a warrant out for his arrest, Cole said.

At 1:35 p.m. Monday, officers responded to a call from a resident at the 1900 block of Broadmoor Street, off Scenic Avenue, that their home was being burglarized.

"The woman saw one subject in the house," Cole said. "She also heard other people in the house."

One of the teens was seen fleeing from the house and the woman was able to provide police with a description.

Moments later Sgt. John Hurd stopped a person that matched the description. The teen was seen waving to a passing vehicle, which later was stopped by Officer Gary Custodia on Bluebell Drive at Sunflower Court.

It was later determined the passengers of the vehicle and the teen stopped by Hurd were all connected to the burglary.

Police recovered a watch from the suspects, Cole said.

No weapons were found and no injuries were reported from the incident.
