Update: 2 arrested in Orinda burglary; 3rd suspect still being sought
ORINDA — At least two people were arrested and another was being sought following a burglary in Orinda Tuesday morning.
Police responded to the scene at around 8:23 a.m. after a call about a suspicion person on Knickerbocker Lane. Officers searching the area soon found a vehicle related to the call in a driveway on Lloyd Lane.
When police approached the car, they were met by three people walking out of the home's front door with stolen items. The suspects dropped the items when they saw police and ran back inside the home and left through the backdoor.
One suspect was arrested by an officer who chased after them. A second suspect was arrested after police set up a perimeter and brought in a San Ramon K9. Police said he was found hiding under a shed.
Police identified the suspect who was first arrested as 30-year-old Dennis Windham of San Francisco. Windham was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on suspicion of burglary, conspiracy and resisting arrest. He is also allegedly on parole for a burglary in San Francisco.
Orinda police said units from Lafayette, Moraga and Danville also responded to assist with the suspect search.
The second suspect is not cooperating with police and has not been identified, police said. The third suspect remains at large.
