Faux Comcast: On July 4th, around 1 p.m. our 911 communications center received a call from a concerned citizen in the Bret Harte area of San Rafael. The citizen was reporting a suspicious person they could see on their ring camera attempting to enter their house via the front door. The person, dressed in a Comcast uniform, was not scheduled to be at the residence and the resident was not home.
As Deputies arrived in the area, they found the garage door propped open with a ladder and a subject fled from inside the garage into a Comcast vehicle. The vehicle quickly fled the area with the Deputy giving chase. Deputies pursued the vehicle until it attempted to take a shortcut on an off-ramp in Richmond. The vehicle became lodged in thick brush and the driver fled on foot. Deputies and a California Highway Patrol unit located the driver, with the assistance of CHP Helicopter H30 and he was taken into custody.The driver of the vehicle was identified as Tyler Christopher Ramirez, a 30 year old male from San Francisco, CA.
Ramirez was provided with a free ride to the Marin County Jail where he was booked on numerous charges. Ramirez allegedly stole the Comcast vehicle and was posing as a Comcast worker when he was burglarizing the residence.
