Martinez, Calif. – Earlier this week, the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office filed multiple felonies against Christopher Dopp and Richard Lange for last week’s burglary of the Walnut Creek Macy’s store at Broadway Plaza.
During the early morning burglary of January 24, the defendants took $65,244 of gold jewelry from display cases.
The defendants were spotted by store employees on the first floor of the store as the pair smashed display cases. The defendants fled the scene after the employees saw the pair destroying the display cases. Ultimately, Walnut Creek Police Officers apprehended the burglars as they left the store. In total, the damage to the store totaled over $80,000 from the broken glass.
The bail for each defendant is set for Lange at $170,000 and Dopp at $35,000. The defendants are not in custody as they bailed out.
The specific felony charges are as follows:
- Lange: Second Degree Burglary, Grand Theft of Personal Property, Vandalism Over $400 Damage — Special Allegation Serious or Violent Felony Prior & Special Allegation Two Prior Offenses
- Dopp: Second Degree Burglary, Grand Theft of Personal Property, Vandalism Over $400 Damage

For $80,000 of damage and burglary,they bailed out? WTH! So they can keep doing what they do? That’s absolutely unacceptable!
I am totally shocked that they bailed out. What was the judge thinking?
Judge was thinking he only has room for the “Son of Sams” and everyone in California loves Robin Hood. So they were allowed to bail out.
