FREMONT, Calif. - What's the best way to catch a thief? Call him back for a job interview. That's what Fremont police tried when they learned that two job applicants were suspected of swiping an office worker's wallet.
Timothy Wash, 22, and his pal Andrew Gonzalez, 18, used the victim's credit card to buy boxers and gift cards at Target, and topped off the shopping spree with frappuccinos at Starbucks, according to investigators.
Police suggested the firm that reported the theft call the pair back for a second job interview. Gonzalez and Wash showed up at the office Wednesday and found detectives waiting for them.
The two confessed and police recovered the missing property at Wash's home, detectives said.
Police charged the pair with conspiracy, burglary, forgery and identify theft. Wash was arraigned in Fremont Friday and is being held at the Alameda County jail. Gonzalez' status could not be immediately ascertained.
