The Novato Police Department is requesting community assistance in identifying the suspects involved in two residential burglaries that occurred on July 15, 2023, according to a recent announcement. These incidents took place in a specific neighborhood in Novato, where the suspects were captured on video surveillance prying open the front doors of the residences to gain access and making away with valuable items. Although the case appears to be an isolated incident, authorities are eager to catch these perpetrators and prevent future burglaries.
One of the suspects has a distinct tattoo on his left bicep area, as seen in the provided surveillance screenshots. The Novato Police Department has also released burglary prevention basics that suggest ways for residents to keep their property safe, such as locking doors and windows, installing deadbolt locks and alarm systems, keeping valuables out of sight, and having lights on when not at home.
Moreover, the police department encourages community members to participate in their Surveillance Camera Registry and Monitoring (SCRAM) program to further enhance neighborhood security and improve video surveillance coverage. Interested residents can register on the SCRAM program website.
