Tiburon, CA -- On 02/04/2026 at 0027 hours, the Tiburon Police Department responded to the 1700 block of Lagoon View Drive for a reported burglary in progress. The homeowner reported that a male suspect entered his garage and stole a bicycle valued at approximately $10,000 before fleeing on foot. The homeowner pursued the suspect, who abandoned the bicycle approximately 50 yards away and fled. The homeowner recovered the bicycle and provided officers with a detailed suspect description.

With assistance from the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, Mill Valley Police Department, and Belvedere Police Department, a perimeter was established and an area search was conducted. Officers located scattered coins, a white hat, and two vehicles in the area that appeared to have been rifled through.

At approximately 0152 hours, Tiburon officers located a suspicious vehicle parked on Ridge Road. Officers contacted the male occupant who provided inconsistent statements. Officers noted the subject was wearing clothing consistent with the suspect description provided by the victim and observed on surveillance video. The suspect was positively identified and placed under arrest.

A search of the suspect’s vehicle revealed suspected methamphetamine, multiple coins, eight stolen credit cards belonging to another Tiburon resident, and additional evidence linked to nearby thefts from unlocked vehicles. The suspect was booked into the Marin County Jail for burglary, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of stolen property. Due to his prior criminal history and convictions, the suspect is eligible for several enhancements pursuant to Proposition 36. This case has been forwarded to the Marin County District Attorney’s Office.

As a reminder, the Tiburon Police Department encourages community members to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity. Residents are reminded to lock and secure their vehicles and homes and take additional precautions to safeguard their property.
