BELMONT, CA — A man and woman from San Mateo were arrested Tuesday on prowling charges after they allegedly snuck through a security gate and were casing parked cars at a Belmont condominium complex, according to authorities.

A resident at about 11:10 a.m. reported that a male and female were peering into parked vehicles and pulling on their door handles in the complex's garage on Davey Glen Road, the Belmont Police Depatment said. The suspects, later identified as Yessica Cadenahernandez, 28, and Yunior Renelopez, 23, ran when they spotted the resident, who then dialed 911, police said.

Arriving officers searched the area and found the pair hiding on the roof of a building on the 300 block of El Camino Real, the agency said. Cadenahernandez and Renelopez were booked into the San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City for suspicion of prowling and probation violation.
