… arrested a pair involved, they presume, in the string of thefts that has targeted Sonoma’s east side for almost four months.
At 2:23 a.m., police deputies were called about a break-in on Lucca Court, off Fourth Street East near Lovall Valley Road. The residents reported a male prowler walking around their home, after hearing the security alarms on their cars, and had noticed that the cars’ interior lights were on.
The deputies gambled that the prowler would escape down the bike path, and so entered the bike path themselves from Second Street East, working back toward Fourth Street East. There, they encountered three men. One, with a black bag and a flashlight, fled. The other two were caught: Malcolm “Corey” Hermosillo and Johann Xavier Hernandez, both of Boyes Hot Springs.
The victims readily identified the goods that the pair was carrying, including a hat with a victim’s name on it, two Leathermen tools, and a 30-gigabyte iPod. Both men were taken to the Sonoma County Jail, where they were charged with possession of stolen goods, possession of burglary tools, tampering with a vehicle, and conspiracy. Hermosillo had recently been released on bail.
Sonoma Deputy Sergeant Thompson said there’s a chance this act is connected to the earlier thefts, but continues to advise residents to keep valuable belongings indoors and to lock their cars.
