On April 4, 2024, at approximately 12:45 a.m. Fremont Police Officers responded to an in-progress commercial burglary on the 5000 block of Cushing Parkway. Reports indicated two suspects drove two high-end Porsche vehicles, a GT3 RS and a GT3, off the dealership showroom floor and through the glass windows.  Fremont patrol officers promptly responded and obtained key details of the vehicle’s direction of travel. The Porsche dealership indicated that the vehicles’ total value was over $500,000.

Several hours after the burglary, Fremont Detectives from the Special Operations Division located the stolen Porsche GT3 RS in Milpitas, CA. Ultimately, the Porsche GT3 RS was recovered and returned to the dealership.

During the arrest of Moore, he attempted to discard a loaded handgun. Following a search of Moore’s residence, officers recovered several high-capacity rifles, stolen property, money, and a police radio scanner.
