Santa Rosa police detectives arrested an 87-year-old Santa Rosa man suspected of molesting children in his neighborhood.

Jose Rosalio Avila of Santa Rosa remained in custody Monday morning in lieu of $400,000 bail.

Detectives last week began investigating reports of children being molested who live in the 1700 block of Petaluma Hill Road, Sgt. Steve Fraga said.

On Thursday they arrested Avila at his home on suspicion of four counts of committing lewd acts on a child.

Fraga asked anyone with information to contact sex crime detectives at 543-3595.
