According to King City Police, at about 6:09 a.m. on Oct. 26, officers responded to a report of a vehicle burglary that occurred outside Safeway.
While the officers were responding, a suspicious subject — later identified as Abram Navarro, 26, of King City — was seen in the area. Navarro fled the area once he saw the police vehicles.
