Four Suspects Arrested in Modesto Home Invasion Linked to Union City Incident

Four individuals, including 22-year-old Benjamin Vazquez and three juveniles, were arrested in Modesto following a home invasion during which a family was held at gunpoint. The suspects were apprehended after a vehicle pursuit involving a white Ford Taurus, the same vehicle linked to a home invasion attempt in Union City the previous day. The Union City incident involved four armed suspects who fled after being confronted by residents, with no injuries reported. Authorities recovered multiple firearms during the Modesto arrest and have charged Vazquez with several serious offenses, including robbery, kidnapping, and assault with a deadly weapon. Police are actively investigating the connection between the two incidents and are seeking assistance from the public for further information. Video footage from police body and dash cameras show the pursuit, arrest, and suspects fleeing or being detained, providing critical evidence in the ongoing investigation.
