The homeowner detained one of the suspects. The second woman who fled was arrested in San Anselmo. A third male suspect remains at large.
The homeowner phoned the Marin County Sheriff’s Office on May 20 shortly after noon. While sheriff’s deputies were responding, Central Marin Police Authority responded to a report of a reckless driver.

Central Marin, San Rafael and California State Parks police searched for the male suspect. The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office assisted with helicopter support.
