, Union City Police Department officers responded to a report involving several armed suspects outside a residence in Union City. The initial report indicated a possible attempted kidnapping; however, responding officers quickly determined the child involved was safe and that no abduction had occurred. The incident is believed to have been an attempted home invasion robbery rather than a kidnapping. A juvenile female was outside her residence when she saw the approaching suspects. She ran inside her residence and notified her family to call the police. The suspects fled the area immediately after being confronted by the residents.
The next day, October 25, 2025, at approximately 4:20 p.m., Officers were dispatched to an armed home invasion on Park Faith Lane in Modesto with four masked suspects who held the family at gunpoint. Officers and detectives pursued the suspects as they tried to flee and recovered multiple firearms. Four suspects, three juveniles, ages 14 to 17, and 22-year-old Benjamin Vazquez of Stockton – were taken into custody. The group is also suspected of involvement in a Union City home invasion, where the same vehicle was seen in a social media video.
