EVENT: 211 PC – Armed Robbery
DATE: 11/10/2023
TIME: 15:17 hours
LOCATION: Janet Way @ Andrew Drive
FACTS: On Friday, November 10, 2023, at 3:17 pm a Tiburon man was robbed at gun point in the area of Janet Way and Andrew Drive in Tiburon, CA. This happened after the man was followed home from a Bank of America ATM in Strawberry where he had earlier withdrawn money.
Once the man returned home, the suspect, who had been following him, demanded cash from the victim and fired one gunshot. The man gave the suspect approximately $500 in cash and the suspect got into a waiting car which was being driven by a second male suspect. The victim had a small laceration to his knee and was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. We don’t believe the injury is related to a gun shot or a bullet fragment.
A countywide BOL (be on the lookout) was broadcasted, and the suspect vehicle was later located by the Richmond Police Department. The driver of the suspect vehicle was the sole occupant of the vehicle when it was located. The driver, a 17-year-old from Richmond was arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall. The other suspect remains at large. The suspect vehicle was impounded and is being processed for evidence. This case is actively under investigation.
The Tiburon Police Department reminds you to be aware of your surroundings, especially when going to an ATM, and if you feel you are being followed, do not go home, immediately call the police and drive to the nearest police station.
