2 Masked Men Rob, Kidnap Petaluma Man: Police

PETALUMA, CA — A man was kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint Saturday in Petaluma, police said.

Officers responded around 9:20 p.m. Saturday to a residence on Shasta Avenue — off Petaluma Boulevard North, just north of Magnolia Avenue — and spoke with a Petaluma man who said two men wearing ski masks and dark clothes approached him in his driveway. The victim told police one of the men was armed with a handgun and they ordered the victim into his home and demanded his money.

After the men stole some of the victim's belongings, they ordered the victim to drive them out of town in his vehicle. They told the victim where to drive; per their orders, the victim drove to an unknown location off Stony Point Road, then told him to stop and they got out of the car and took off.

The victim described the suspects as two men wearing black masks, black gloves and black jackets. Their identity was concealed by their clothing and was not known Sunday when police issued a news release.

Police asked anyone with information related to the case to contact Detective Boyd at 707-778-4334 or dboyd@cityofpetaluma.org. Information can also be sent via email to ppdtips@cityofpetaluma.org.
