The robbery took place in central Novato on January 14. While the incident itself happened weeks ago, authorities announced the arrests on February 5 following a coordinated, multi-agency investigation. Police said the victim was not physically harmed during the robbery.

In the evening, community attention shifts to the Marin Showcase Theater, where students are performing Willy Wonka Jr.. The production has drawn steady interest throughout the week and continues tonight with an early, family-friendly performance.
School and theater organizers say events like these are intended to bring families together while giving students hands-on experience in performance and collaboration. The show’s accessible format has made it especially appealing to younger audiences and parents looking for a simple night out close to home.
