On Sunday, January 2, 2022, at 2:13 a.m., Santa Rosa Police Department officers were dispatched to the 1200-block of Wyoming Drive regarding an interrupted catalytic converter theft.  The victim was inside his residence, when he heard the sound of a saw cutting metal near the front of his house.  The victim looked outside and saw two subjects standing near his work truck.  The victim yelled at the suspects, and they got into a vehicle and fled.  The victim described the suspect vehicle as a white Acura sedan.  Responding patrol officers spotted a vehicle, several blocks from the incident, that matched the description provided by the victim.  Officers made a traffic stop on the vehicle, in the 2700-block of Fourth Street. 

A search of the vehicle revealed a Sawzall (commonly used to cut catalytic converters), new and used saw blades, extra vehicle jacks, suspected methamphetamine, and other burglary tools.  The driver was identified as David Ponce, a 30-year-old, Santa Rosa resident.  The passenger was identified as Claudia Granadero-Rivas, a 28-year-old, Santa Rosa resident.
 
Based on the call for service, witness statements, and evidence located, Granadero-Rivas was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail on the below charges.  Granadero-Rivas’ bail was set at $110,000.
 
182(a)(1) PC – (Felony) Conspiracy to Commit a Crime
594(b)(1) PC – (Felony) Vandalism
664 / 487 PC – (Felony) Attempted Grand Theft
466 PC – (Misdemeanor) Possession of Burglary Tools
1203.2 – Violation of Probation/Pre-Trial Release Terms out of Marin County (two counts)
Misdemeanor Warrants – 2 Warrants out of Marin County
 
Based on the call for service, witness statements, and evidence located, Ponce was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail on the below charges:
