Masked Men Rob Novato Costco

NOVATO, CA – A Costco in Novato was robbed Sunday morning by three people wearing surgical masks, police said.

According to the Novato Police Department, officers were dispatched around 10:11 a.m. to the Costco Wholesale store at 300 Vintage Way, where the suspects used a hammer to smash the glass display cases and steal jewelry.

The suspects ran from the store to a vehicle that left the area before police arrived at the scene, officials said. Police said no one was injured and the suspects did not display any weapons.

About a month ago, four people stole jewelry in a similar fashion from a Costco in Foster City.

Officers did not find the suspect's getaway vehicle, which was described as a dark-colored, four-door sedan with paper dealer plates. Witnesses described the suspects as African American male adults, possibly in their 20s.

Police are asking for the public's help in finding the vehicle and suspects in the Novato burglary. Anyone with any information is asked to call Novato police at 415-897-4361.
