Deputies Seek Suspects Who Fled on Bikes After Alleged Burglary

By Bay City News Service

San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies are looking for two suspected burglars who fled on bicycles Sunday morning after the residents of a home they entered in unincorporated Redwood City woke up and interrupted them.

At 8:15 a.m. Sunday, residents of a home in the 500 block of Ninth Avenue said they were awoken by sounds coming from inside the house. When the
residents called out, they said they heard the sound of people running through the house and going out the back door, according to the sheriff’s
office.

The residents looked out the window and saw two men leaving from the side of the house on bicycles, heading west on Eighth Avenue. Deputies
arrived on the scene shortly afterward and saturated the area, but could not find the suspects, sheriff’s officials said.

The residents were only able to describe the first suspect as dark-haired and said the second suspect was wearing a hood pulled up over his head.

Deputies later determined the suspects had entered the home through an unlocked window and rummaged through two rooms before taking a wallet that had a large amount of cash in it, according to the sheriff’s office.

Anyone who has information about the case is asked to call sheriff’s Detective Hector Acosta at (650) 363-4064 or to email him at
hacosta@smcgov.org.
