The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Monday announced the arrest of a 27-year-old San Martin man for allegedly pirating approximately 50,000 digital video discs.

Sheriff's deputies allegedly discovered the pirated DVDs, with an estimated street value of $250,000, after responding to a 911 hang up at the man's home on the 12000 block of Sycamore Avenue, according to Sheriff's Office Sgt. Don Morrissey.

Among the DVDs allegedly found at the man's home were copies of movies still in theaters including "Charlie Wilson's War," "Alvin and the Chipmunks," and "The Golden Compass," Morrissey said in a statement.

The suspect is currently in custody in Santa Clara County Jail.

The Sheriff's Office is not releasing his identity citing the ongoing nature
of the investigation.
