About two hours later, they robbed a Petaluma Gun Store.
Officers first responded to the El Cerrito incident at 5:34 a.m. Saturday based on an activation of the store’s alarm system. A broken window was found there but the suspects had already fled the scene.
The suspects did not gain entry to the store because of the security measures in place there, police said.
