The alleged burglary of Crush Comics, located at 2869 Castro Valley Boulevard, happened at around 3 a.m. last Saturday.
Sheriff's officials said video surveillance from the shop shows two suspects entering the store and stealing merchandise.
Officials found probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant for one of the two suspects.
