WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA – Walnut Creek Police are asking for the community’s help after a residential burglary in the Citrus Ave and Perada Dr area on 9/25/2025.
Security-camera images released by the department show two suspects inside a kitchen during the daytime incident. In one frame, a man with a shaved head looks toward the camera while holding what appears to be a light-colored cloth; in others, a woman in a dark hoodie with a red emblem moves through the space.
Investigators say they’re working to identify the pair and piece together their movements before and after the break-in. Neighbors in the Citrus/Perada corridor and adjoining streets are encouraged to check doorbell or driveway cameras from that date for any unfamiliar vehicles or foot traffic, especially during daytime hours when many homes are empty.
If you have information, contact Walnut Creek Police at (925) 943-5844. You can share tips anonymously via the tip line at (925) 943-5865, or email Det. Matt Smith at MSmith@walnutcreekpd.com.
