Novato
Theft: On April 29, at around 6:42 p.m., Novato Police Officers contacted the occupants of a white Honda Accord that was parked at the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center. Prior to speaking with the vehicle occupants, officers learned that the front and rear matching license plates on the Honda were recently reported stolen to the Daly City Police Department. A records check was performed on the Honda’s vehicle identification number (VIN) and revealed that the Honda was reported stolen by the San Francisco Police Department.
During the investigation, a search of the vehicle was conducted and officers located a considerable amount of new clothing, which still had sales tags attached to the items. Officers discovered suspected stolen property, such as high value alcohol and identification items belonging to theft victims throughout the Bay Area inside the Honda. Additionally, officers located suspected methamphetamine, cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle during the search.
As a result of the investigation, a 43 year old Pacifica man, Arnold Lampkins and a 43 year old San Francisco woman, Ama Jaques were placed under arrest for vehicle theft, possession of stolen property and drug related charges. Lampkins and Jaques were later booked at the Marin County Jail.
Our patrol teams continue to place a high priority on proactive policework and conducting extra patrols of areas like shopping centers to combat theft. We appreciate our community members who alert us to suspicious activity and report crime while it is occurring. We are working towards creating a safer Novato one contact at a time.
