OAKLAND — A man better known as the “Ninja Burglar” has been charged with multiple counts of burglary and other crimes, police said Thursday.

Justin Holbert, 27, of Oakland, was charged Wednesday with three counts of burglary, one count of violent felony and another count of auto-theft, police said.

Holbert was arrested Monday in East Oakland near a stolen vehicle that police said contained items taken in burglaries of at least two Oakland hills homes. Police also found two Samurai-style swords in one sheath — similar to what he was wearing in surveillance video.

The suspect also had an outstanding $50,000 warrant charging him with other non-related burglaries.

Police said Holbert was connected to multiple home burglaries over a period of several days. Investigators gathered victims’ surveillance video footage, which showed the suspect in a Ninja outfit while carrying two swords in a sheath.

Residents exchanged information in person and on social media after the burglaries took place. Some residents found that the same suspect had been captured on their home video surveillance footage, casing homes and trying to break into other residences.
