Two suspects who police believe are responsible for a string of car dealership burglaries on the Peninsula were arrested on Tuesday in Oakland, and authorities are looking into whether the pair could be linked to a series of high-end thefts in San Jose, officials said.

Marquis Banks, 19, and Moufassa Hauley, 18, both of Oakland, were taken into custody by detectives from the San Mateo Police Department after allegedly orchestrating three burglaries at two car dealerships beginning in August, police said.

Two cars were stolen from Brand Motors on South El Camino Real on Aug. 17. On Aug. 22, the Trax Auto dealership, just down the street from Brand Motors, was broken into and more than 40 sets of keys were stolen. The next night, two cars were stolen off the lot, according to police.

Detectives from San Mateo were able to obtain a search warrant for a house on Wallace Street in Oakland where they found evidence linking Banks and Hauley to the all three burglaries in San Mateo, police said.

Both suspects were arrested on six felony charges related to the burglaries and one of the suspects had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant, though police did not say which one.

Detectives in San Mateo are working with police in Belmont and San Jose to see if Banks and Hauley could also be responsible for another string of car dealership burglaries, carried out in a similar fashion, that left more than a dozen luxury cars missing over the weekend.
