KING CITY — Four King City residents, including two juveniles, have been arrested for multiple crimes committed throughout the city in July, announced King City Police Department this week.

Between July 4 and July 23, six separate criminal investigations were developed after local officers responded to various crimes that had been committed within city limits. These crimes included burglary, tampering with vehicles, stolen vehicles, vandalism related to gang crimes and a stolen weapon.

“As the investigations moved forward, officers were able to identify links between the crimes,” police said in a news release Wednesday, adding that the crimes were “suspected to have been committed by the same individuals.”

After reviewing the citywide video surveillance system as well as privately owned video surveillance from members of the community, officers were able to identify the four suspects.

Angel Leonardo Benavides, 20, and Pablo Emmanuel Imperial, 19, along with two male juveniles, all from King City, were arrested and booked for their respective roles in the crimes committed.
