5 people arrested in Rohnert Park after police locate stolen vehicle containing burglary tools

Rohnert Park police on Wednesday arrested five people, two of whom resided in Santa Rosa, after finding evidence that tied them to a stolen vehicle that contained burglary tools, authorities said.

Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety officers located a stolen vehicle about 10 a.m. in a parking lot in the 6000 block of Redwood Drive, according to a news release Thursday from the department. Inside, police found multiple tools commonly used in burglaries, including a floor jack, saw blades and shaved keys, which function as a lock pick.

Officers obtained identities of suspects and located them in a nearby local motel room, where police discovered additional power tools and stolen catalytic converters.

Police identified that some of the items recovered were taken Tuesday night from a Santa Rosa garage, Rohnert Park Deputy Chief Kevin Kilgore said Thursday.

Five people were arrested and booked into the Sonoma County jail for outstanding warrants and on suspicion of multiple charges, according to the release.
