MARIN COUNTY SHERIFF
Arrest: On April 20, patrol deputies were dispatched to an armed robbery at the intersection of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and La Cuesta Drive in Greenbrae.
The victim, who was sitting in their vehicle stopped at the red light, was shocked when their vehicle’s rear window was shattered. A suspect was at the rear of the vehicle taking the victim’s belongings through the broken window. The victim quickly reacted and reversed their vehicle into the suspect. The suspect sustained injuries but ultimately got into the get-away vehicle and fled the area.
An investigation took place over the past three months, which consisted of several search warrants. We are thankful to our neighboring agencies who helped us identify these subjects (Berkeley PD, San Pablo PD and Contra Costa Probation). The robbery suspects were identified as Joseph Cardenas and David Cardenas out of San Pablo. Both suspects were arrested on suspicion of committing the crime.
