Novato’s finest on the trail of Tesla vandals

March 30, 2025 by Marin Leave a Comment

The Novato Police Department is investigating a felony vandalism that occurred Saturday, March 29, to a Tesla CyberTruck parked in a private driveway.

Around 4:22 a.m., the suspect, who was caught on video, appeared to case the residence before returning with a concrete rock approximately one hour later at 5:41 a.m. The suspect placed duct tape over one of the security cameras and proceeded to vandalize the vehicle, throwing the concrete at the windshield multiple times, slashing all four tires, and leaving a yellow piece of duct tape with a handwritten note advising the tires had been damaged.

We are aware of another recent incident in Novato targeting Tesla vehicles and want to reassure our community that we are fully committed to investigating these acts.

If you live in the Jackson Dr., Truman Dr., Brown Dr., Garner Dr. or Washington Dr. areas, please check your cameras for any suspicious activity or vehicles between 4AM – 6AM this morning. If you have any information related to this case, please contact Novato Police at 415-897-4361 or email police@novato.org and reference Case #NP25-804.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated as we work to identify the suspects in both cases and hold them accountable.
