Package thieves sought
Police are looking for two male suspects in the theft of packages from a Mountain View home, following the arrest of two minors who were taken into custody Wednesday morning.
Home surveillance footage from Jan. 11 at around 2:43 p.m. shows four suspects stopped in front of the home in the 200 block of Beatrice Street. Two of the suspects, both female, allegedly took the packages that were delivered earlier that day, police said.
The suspects are then seen returning to the home about 15 minutes later, and both women are can be seen trying to open the front door. The third suspect, a man, was allegedly carrying an orange bag with the contents of the stolen packages, while the fourth suspect, also a man, was seen at the end of the driveway, apparently watching the street, police said.
As of 10:40 a.m. Wednesday, police reported that they have arrested two women, both of them minors, who were allegedly involved in the theft. Police are still searching for the two men. One of the men is described as a Hispanic or white, wearing a red baseball cap, a black hooded sweatshirt, khaki pants and white shoes. The second man is described as Hispanic or white, wearing a dark-colored baseball cap with a red rim, a black hooded sweatshirt, a light shirt and dark, slim cut jeans.
Anyone with information on the two remaining suspects is asked to call the Mountain View Police Department at 650-903-6395.

Officers responded at 2:20 p.m. on Jan. 8 to the California Bank and Trust in the 700 block of West El Camino Real.

He was last seen walking toward View Street.
The suspect is described as a black man who is 5 feet 10 inches tall with a slender-to-medium build. He was wearing a black beanie with neon yellow and white writing, a black jacket that had a zipper on the right front side of the shoulder, blue jeans and white shoes. He was also wearing sunglasses.

Los Altos murder suspect
San Jose police have released photos today of a suspect’s vehicle connected with the homicide of a 28-year-old man, whose body authorities are working to locate.
Steve Hlebo, 39, of Los Altos, is suspected of murdering his coworker, Kyle Myrick, late last week, police said.
Investigators have determined Hlebo’s white 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 truck is connected with the homicide, according to police.
The vehicle has tinted windows and a California license plate 60414R1, police Lt. Paul Spagnoli said.
There are some areas of the vehicle’s front bumper that appear to be missing lights, Spagnoli said.
Police have been conducting a general search from San Jose to Los Altos for Myrick, but haven’t centered their efforts on a focused area, according to Spagnoli.
Anyone who saw the truck between 6 p.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday is asked to contact police.
On Friday around 6:20 p.m., officers responded to a report of a suspicious circumstance at 2020 Camden Ave., interim police chief Eddie Garcia said.
GP Sports, a powersports dealership, is located at that address. The business carries new and used motorcycles, scooters, watercrafts and other vehicles, according to the company’s website.
When officers arrived they were told Myrick had been missing for several hours and based on the nature of scene determined the case was a homicide, Garcia said.
Additional investigators responded to the scene and identified
Hlebo as the suspect, who was taken into custody at his Los Altos home shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday, according to Garcia.
On Sunday, detectives re-canvassed the area around GP Sports and searched a property off of Mount Umunhum connected with the suspect, Garcia said.
Police were told that Myrick’s body might have been disposed of in the ocean, according to Garcia.
John Sparry, Myrick’s stepfather, said his stepson was a good and kind person who was always willing to help his friends. Myrick loved motorcycles, enjoyed his job and didn’t complain of any problems with anyone at work, according to Sparry.
Myrick’s family has also been conducting their own search for Kyle by looking in other areas including Lexington Reservoir and the Santa Cruz Mountains, police said.
Kelly Myrick, Kyle’s mother, said she believes her son is alive and other family members are searching for him.
“He’s my baby, my only child and I want him back,” Kelly Myrick said.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call San Jose police Detective Sgt. Paul Hamblin or Detective Jason Tanner at (408) 277-5283.
