Home Invasion Robbers Strike in Marinwood

On Nov. 8, Marin County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the report of the robbery, in which three black males entered the home through an unlocked open sliding door while wearing masks. One subject brandished a firearm and another carried a baseball bat, according to the victims, and ordered the family from bedrooms and their movements were restricted while the men ransacked the home.
