Yesterday, the San Rafael Police Department (SRPD) arrested a driver suspected of burglary. The arrest followed a tip-off from a local resident, who reported suspicious behavior. This led to the recovery of potentially stolen items.

An SRPD officer was alerted about a car roaming around the neighborhood without headlights around early Sunday morning. The information, which was confirmed by the SRPD's Twitter post, led to the eventual stop and investigation of the suspicious vehicle.

The investigation showed the driver, though didn't have a license, was in possession of burglary tools and items suspected to be burglarized. The driver was arrested, the vehicle impounded, and items seized. This incident emphasizes the role every individual can play in ensuring the safety and security of their community.

The driver received a citation for possession of burglary tools and driving without a license before being released.
