SAN JOSE \u2014 A Halloween morning burglary at a West San Jose home ended in the arrest of five people, police said.<\/p>\n
The burglary happened around 10:15 a.m., San Jose police spokesperson Stacie Shih said in a news release. A witness reported seeing two people force their way into a garage and take various items.<\/p>\n
