San Carlos police investigating reports of a burglary Sunday afternoon located a suspect hiding in the rear bedroom of a home previously lived in by his father.

Officers were called around 12:30 p.m. to a home at 930 Cherry St. by a neighbor who reported a burglary was in progress and a window had been smashed, police said.

While searching the area around the home, police found a broken window in the rear bedroom and located the suspect, Joshua Gero of San Mateo inside.

Gero's father lived in the home before passing away in December, and Gero apparently wanted to retrieve items left inside, Sgt. Ron Albertson said. Gero had been advised not to return to the home and was unable to gain access to the home as the locks had been changed.

Officers took him into custody at gunpoint, and he was booked into San Mateo County jail on suspicion of residential burglary.

Police said no other burglaries were reported in the area.
