PACIFICA, CA October 20 2021— Police arrested a Pacifica man and four others in an organized retail theft from a clothing store in Corte Madera Wednesday after an alert witness called police to report the license plate of the getaway vehicle.
Tre’jor Barber of Pacifica and Tiairrah Jones of San Francisco, both 19, were arrested on suspicion of burglary, theft and conspiracy, and booked into Marin County Jail, Central Marin Police Authority said.
The juveniles, aged 17, 16 and 14, were booked into Marin County Juvenile Hall.
On Oct. 13, Central Marin police received a report of a shoplifting that just occurred at the Lululemon store in The Village at Corte Madera.
