Lastro was arrested on charges of organized retail theft with intent to sell, petty theft with two or more priors, and possession of burglary tools.
In a separate incident, officers stopped a driver at First and Scott streets suspected of DUI. Lester Silvaerazo, 22, of Oakland, was found to have cannabis, heroin, and fentanyl packaged for sale in his vehicle. He was arrested for driving under the influence and possession and purchase for sale of narcotics.
