PETALUMA (BCN) — Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect in two thefts that occurred Friday night in Petaluma.
The robberies took place around 9 p.m. Friday at the Dick’s Sporting Goods at 401 Kenilworth Dr. and the Freidman’s Home Improvement at 429 N. McDowell Blvd., according to police.
The suspect entered Dick’s and stole a crossbow, golf club and a lacrosse stick before fleeing the scene in a red, four-door sedan. The value of the stolen goods is estimated at $300.
Shortly thereafter, the suspect stole two pelican cases, each valued at approximately $200, from Friedman’s before leaving the store without paying and fleeing the scene in a red, four door sedan.
Police believe the same suspect is responsible for both thefts. He’s described as a white man standing roughly six feet tall and approximately 20 years old. He was last wearing a camouflage shirt, black jeans and white tennis shoes with a black and red baseball hat.
Anyone with information about these thefts is asked to contact Officer Robert Barnes with the Petaluma Police Department at (707) 781-1238.
