Woman Arrested After Burglarizing Home

At 12:30 a.m. this morning, Dec. 27, Novato police responded to a report of a woman stealing items from a house on the 400 block of San Marin Drive.

According to the police, the resident of the house saw a woman with the stolen items in front of the house. She then fled on foot before officers arrived.

Officers reportedly located a woman who gave the name of Simone Dumorie, 39, a few blocks away from the scene. Dumorie was postively identified by the resident of the buglarized house and had stolen property in her possession.

There is an indication, said officers, that Dumorie is not the suspect's actual name and that she provided false information to officers.

All stolen property was recovered and Dumorie was arrested and booked into the county jail on charges of burglary, providing false information to a police officer, and possessing stolen property. She is being held on $50,000 bail.
