NOVATO (CBS SF) – Five suspects were in custody and four remained at large following a series of armed home invasion robberies in Petaluma that led to a pursuit to a neighborhood in Novato where residents were asked to shelter in place Monday morning for over five hours, authorities said.
Sonoma County sheriff’s deputies responded shortly after 3 a.m. to multiple reports of armed home invasion robberies on Eugenia Drive and learned that the suspects targeted three different homes, according to the sheriff’s office.
The suspects kicked in doors and confronted homeowners while looking for marijuana, and at least one homeowner was tied up and pistol-whipped, sheriff’s officials said.
“It sounds like these suspects when door to door, kicking in doors,” said Sgt. Spencer Crum with the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office. “They tied up at least one person, pistol whipped them. They’re looking for marijuana, however none of the three homes involved were selling, growing, involved in the marijuana industry in any way.”
