IDs from Witnesses Yields Arrests of Burglary Suspects

Two Novato men were jailed Thursday on suspicion of a residential burglary one day after it took place, said.

At 1:58 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a home on Reichert Court just south of the Old Town area on the report of a person walking into a burglary in progress, according to a release from Lt. Keith Heiden. Two suspects fled with stolen goods as the resident watched, but officers who searched the area came up empty-handed, he said. On the bright side, the investigation yielded identifications of two suspects from witnesses.

On Thursday, several officers located the two men at 10:15 a.m. in the 300 block of Capetown Court in the Crossroads neighborhood off South Novato Boulevard, about 2 ½ miles south of where the burglary was committed.

Deangelo Natividad and Christopher Butler, both 21, were arrested and booked into Marin County Jail and face felony burglary charges, according to the jail booking log. In addition, Natividad faces a possible felony charge of committing a crime while out on bail for another crime; Novato police did not release details on a previous infraction. Butler also could be dinged for a misdemeanor probation violation.
