On the evening of February 21st, 2025, around 7:10PM, Central Marin Police Authority patrol officers responded to a report of a suspicious person looking into garages in the Madera Gardens neighborhood of Corte Madera.  A vigilant resident of the neighborhood called the police and provided a description of the man and the vehicle he had left in.  Central Marin Police searched the neighborhood and located a vehicle matching the description provided.  Officers conducted a traffic stop on the car in the 100 block of Mohawk Avenue, Corte Madera.  Upon further investigation into the vehicle’s VIN number, it was determined to be stolen out of Oakland and its license plate did not belong to it.
