Petaluma PD Investigating Prowler Incident:

On March 30, 2025, at 8:11 PM, officers were dispatched to the 700 block of Cindy Lane to investigate a report of a male subject who was in the reporting party’s home.

When the reporting party came home, it was discovered there was an unknown male under the bed. The male fled on foot from the residence. The suspect was described as a Hispanic male, 5’7”, 120 Ibs., in his 20’s, with dark hair, and wearing dark clothing.

Officers patrolled the area and were unsuccessful in locating him.

Officers also canvassed the neighborhood in an effort to locate potential evidence or investigative leads. The next day, in the light of day, again, officers canvased the area again searching for potential evidence and surveillance videos to aid in identifying the suspect.

The suspect has not been identified at this time, but the investigation is ongoing and the evidence collected is being analyzed.

While home invasions and prowlers are not a common issue in Petaluma, it’s always wise to stay vigilant and take precautions to protect your home and loved ones. Even in safe communities, unexpected situations can arise, and being prepared can make all the difference. Consider securing your home with strong locks, motion-sensor lights, and a home security system. Always be mindful of your surroundings, and don’t hesitate to report any suspicious activity to authorities.
