The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office has charged Nathaniel Porter, 22, with multiple felonies for allegedly participating in a string of commercial burglaries targeting multiple businesses in Union City.
Mr. Porter is charged with eight counts of second-degree burglary. It is further alleged that the defendant committed these burglaries while on probation for a previous conviction.
The criminal complaint alleges that on or around March 21, 2024, Porter unlawfully entered eight different businesses with the intent to commit larceny in a Union City strip mall while these businesses were closed. Investigators developed a lead placing the defendant at the location during the burglaries.
Porter was recently arraigned for the commercial burglary charges and is scheduled to appear for a plea hearing Feb. 10 in Department 702 at the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin.
Porter was on felony probation at the time that these alleged crimes occurred. If convicted and sentenced on all charges, Mr. Porter faces up to 10 years and six months in prison.
