Break-In At Healdsburg Auto Lot Leads To Santa Rosa Junior College

HEALDSBURG, CA — A shattered showroom window and a missing pickup truck set off a multi-agency investigation this month that ended with an arrest on a college campus.

Employees arriving at Silveira Buick GMC on Feb. 13 found the dealership’s front window smashed, a vending machine forced open, and a 2024 GMC Sierra missing from the lot at 835 Healdsburg Ave., according to the Healdsburg Police Department.

Officers tracked the stolen truck north, where it had been abandoned near the Santa Rosa Junior College campus.

Detectives reviewed surveillance footage from a neighboring business near the dealership recorded the night before the break-in. Additional SRJC campus security video showed the same person shortly after the truck was left behind, police said.

Healdsburg police investigators, working with the Santa Rosa Junior College Police Department, identified the suspect, who was arrested Feb. 23 while on campus.

Police have not yet released details about the charges filed in connection with the suspected burglary and vehicle theft.
