(KRON) — The Lafayette Police Department (LPD) arrested a Fairfield man in connection with a series of Bay Area burglaries, the department announced Monday in a news release. Lafayette detectives discovered that the suspect was tied to several burglaries across seven other cities and counties.

LPD worked with authorities from Vacaville, Dublin, Danville and Marin County to execute search warrants at three different residences. Lafayette detectives obtained a Ramey arrest warrant for counts of credit card fraud, identity theft and burglary.

Police said the suspect also entered two Lafayette schools and stole multiple credit cards, which happened sometime earlier in April.

The suspect, a 34-year-old Fairfield man, was arrested on Friday, police said. He was booked into Marin County Jail.

LPD did not further specify what was stolen. Police said “significant evidence and items believed to be linked to the ongoing investigations” were recovered.
