A residential burglary was reported in the 700 block of Saint Katherine Drive on Nov. 9 at 8:10 p.m. A neighbor, who observed two men running from the home, said he had a partial view of the front yard and heard the burglary alarm from the house. When he stepped outside to look toward the residence, he saw the suspects running southbound through the backyard toward the main gate. Since it was dark outside at the time, he could not provide a description of the suspects. The neighbor also heard the sound of a car door slam closed and saw a light-colored sedan drive westbound on Saint Katherine Drive until it was out of view. The deputy later contacted the homeowner. While investigating the scene, the deputy found a shattered glass door by the master bedroom. A safe was reported missing from the master bedroom closet. Items inside included money, a Movado watch, a California driver’s license, one necklace and two earrings. The homeowner, who didn’t want the residence checked for fingerprints, said they would review the video footage to see if the crime was captured.
