2 Caught On Camera In Marin County Home Burglary: Police

SAN RAFAEL, CA — Officers arrested two Richmond residents Thursday morning after a neighbor saw them on a surveillance camera breaking into an unoccupied home in the Terra Linda neighborhood, police said.

Alexis Zaid Garcia-Lopez, 22, and Juan Alexi Monasterio-Arredondo, 29, were taken into custody after an alert resident called to report a break-in around 5 a.m. on Thursday. The caller, who was able to view a suspect on a home surveillance camera, reported the incident in the area of Diego Drive and Duran Drive.

Officers said they found one suspect still inside but they refused to comply with officers' directions to surrender and tried to run away from the front of the house but was immediately apprehended. Police said they found property believed to be stolen from the home in the suspect’s backpack and pockets.

Police said they suspected a second person might have been involved and soon located a second individual, believed to be the getaway driver, nearby and also took him into custody.

Both men were booked into the Marin County Jail. The recovered items will be returned to the owner.
