Livermore man arrested for allegedly stealing comics, Legos and action figures
(KRON) — A suspect has been arrested in connection to a burglary at a Castro Valley comic bookstore last weekend. Crush Comics on Castro Valley Boulevard was hit by burglars just after 3 a.m. Saturday morning.
Two masked, hooded suspects wearing dark clothes hammered their way into the store, making off with around $2,000 worth of valuable comics off the store's wall book section.
'They grabbed everything from there, put it in a bag and they were out within, like a minute and a half or so,' said the store's co-owner Josh Hunter.

According to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, 29-year-old Noorullah Amiri was arrested on Thursday in connection to the crime on Thursday. Following the burglary, the Eden Township Substation Property Crime Unit developed probable cause to arrest him and obtained a search warrant.
With the assistance of the Gang Suppression Unit and the Street Crimes Unit, Amiri was located at his residence in Livermore. Officers executed a search warrant and found a 'significant quantity of suspected stolen goods,' police said.
Along with comic books and action figures, nearly 200 boxes of LEGO sets were also found. According to police, another victim from a different Bay Area city reported a burglary on Wednesday in which $10,000 worth of LEGO sets were stolen.
The victim, police said, was able to recover most of the stolen LEGO sets from Amiri's residence.
'The diligent efforts of the Eden Township Substation Property Crime Unit let to the successful investigation and arrest,' ACSO said. 'We remain committed to bringing justice to those affected by property crimes.'
