A vehicle description was provided to PPD Dispatch and responding officers performed a search of the area. After a few minutes the citizen called back reporting that she had possibly located the vehicle near Petaluma Blvd North and Magnolia Ave. Officers arrived in the area quickly and were able to locate and stop the vehicle near Magnolia Ave and Lohrman Ln.
PPD Officers detained the female driver, Brezjana Wilson (26) of Petaluma, and her male passenger Daveion Lyons (35) of Oakland without further incident.
During the contact, officers located a catalytic converter and numerous battery-powered saws, hand tools and floor jacks in the rear passenger compartment of the vehicle as well as a small amount of suspected Methamphetamine.
PPD Officers brought the catalytic converter back to the victim confirming it was a match to her vehicle and both suspects provided statements confirming their involvement in the theft.
