Jeyson Garcia, a San Francisco resident, was pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include two counts of first-degree residential burglary, unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, receiving stolen property including a motor vehicle and possession of burglar tools.

Prosecutors allege that Garcia stole from a residence in the 2700 block of San Jose Avenue around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday last week while the resident was asleep, including the resident's vehicle. Two days later, Garcia allegedly stole $3,000 worth of items from a residence on 26th Street in Noe Valley around 4:20 a.m., while the residents were again asleep.
He was arrested the same day after he was caught allegedly driving the vehicle he stole while having the identification card of another victim.

Garcia was detained and held without bail "due to the public safety risk he poses," the District Attorney's office said.
He was already convicted of another second-degree burglary on July 8, for which he is scheduled to be sentenced Monday.
