Last Thursday, SRPD received a “Be On the Lookout” (BOLO) for a known suspect who had an outstanding warrant for burglary from the @MarinSheriff and was also wanted by Central Marin Police Authority for an earlier bike theft.… pic.twitter.com/b3PK30LLyn
The operation took a turn on Andersen Drive near Irwin Street in San Rafael, where the suspect was spotted—seemingly stationary—next to what was later confirmed to be the stolen bicycle. When officers approached, the suspect was found with bolt cutters in their possession. These tools are often associated with theft, hinting at how the bike may have been taken. His detention led to a swift booking into Marin County Jail, where he faced the existing warrant and possession of stolen property.
The bike was recovered, and the suspect now faces the legal repercussions for their alleged actions. Details about the suspect's identity or past criminal history were not immediately available when reporting.
