Three people — including a brother and sister employed by an equestrian center — were arrested in Newark Friday for burglarizing a Woodside home sometime between November and April, San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies reported. 

Cassandra Jane Chislett, 19, and her brother Colin Chislett-Barnes, 23, were taken into custody at their Newark residence while the third suspect, Nathan Keith, 26, was booked on a $250,000 warrant for grand theft, possession of stolen property and burglary while already in custody in the Alameda County Jail on unrelated charges, according to police. 

The burglary was of a detached residential garage where antique rugs, carousel horses, a rocking horse and a horse saddle, among other items, were being stored. It appeared entry was made into the garage by cutting the lock of the roll-up garage door. The total loss is estimated to be in excess of $100,000. Some of the stolen items have already been recovered, according to police.
