Rockridge Burglary Victim Recovers Stolen Jewelry — With a Little Help from Piedmont Police

Yardley Brown

A prowler arrested when he emerged from a Piedmont backyard last month has been linked to a Rockridge burglary, Piedmont Police Detective George Phifer said Tuesday.

Phifer said 10 pieces of jewelry stolen from a home in the 5400 block of Manila Avenue in late February have been recovered from an Oakland pawn shop and returned to the victim.

Piedmont PD became involved when the Rockridge resident read about the arrest of Yardley Brown, 61, Phifer said.
