Suspected Burglars Can't Flee From Old Escape

ROHNERT PARK - Public safety officers arrested two men suspected of burglarizing a business Sunday morning in Rohnert Park, public safety officials said.

Officers arrested 30-year-old Petaluma resident Justin Garwood and 26-year-old Santa Rosa resident Victor Marin-Coria and booked them into the county jail on suspicion of burglary, violating probation and possession of drugs.

Officers responded at 7:40 a.m. to a business under construction at 5195 Redwood Drive, where a paintball, arcade and laser tag business named Escape used to be located.

A witness told officers that he saw two men taking items from the construction site and putting them in a vehicle. The witness described the situation as suspicious, public safety officials said.

When officers arrived, the two men fled and were apprehended by officers.

Evidence was located that tied the men to the burglary, according to public safety officials.

An investigation revealed that the men took tools, copper and other undisclosed items from the site. A construction project manager arrived and confirmed the theft, public safety officials said.

Officers also discovered that the two men may have been involved in other burglaries in Sonoma County and area agencies are conducting an investigation.
