A Pittsburg resident was apprehended on Wednesday after committing a series of crimes in the Walnut Creek area, as reported by the Contra Costa Office of the Sheriff. According to spokesperson Jimmy Lee, deputies from the Valley Station responded to a burglary in progress on Birch Drive in unincorporated Walnut Creek at around 1:25 p.m. The victim informed the deputies that a man entered his garage, brandished a hammer, and demanded the keys to his car. When the victim resisted, the suspect fled the scene. The suspect then proceeded to a nearby residence but was unable to gain entry. He subsequently went to a parking lot on Treat Boulevard, where he carjacked an individual who was inside their vehicle.
