Castaneda was detained while officers investigated. It was ultimately determined that he’d entered the bank in possession of a check with a forged signature and that he had tried to cash it. The suspect, aged 20 and from San Leandro, was arrested at the scene and booked into Solano County Jail on felony charges of burglary and forgery, and a misdemeanor charge of check fraud.

In a press release regarding the incident, Vacaville Police emphasized that this arrest would not have been possible without a partnership between the business community and the police department.
