SCPD Arrest Prowlers And Recover Packaged Merchandise - Help Get Gifts Home For The Holidays

Do you recognize this jacket?
SCPD recovered packaged jackets from suspect prowlers. Did they get stolen from your doorstep? We would very much like to get it back to the rightful owner in time to wrap and put under the tree.

On 12/9/17 at approximately 11:25 pm, SCPD Officers responded to the 300 block of Pelton Avenue on a report of a male and female subjects who were prowling in a residential backyard.
Officers located Ryvera Knutson, 23 years old from Brookdale and Dorin Lyngstad 39 years old from Santa Cruz who matched the description sitting on the curb near the 100 block Phelan Court.

Miss Knutson and Mr. Lyngstad had multiple bags and various items on the sidewalk including 3 fur jackets made by Urban Republic. The fur jackets were all identical with original tags still attached in original packaging
Officer asked Mr. Lyngstad what they were doing, and he said they were just looking for a power outlet in the backyard to charge his phone. The pair then realized they had a power bank and did not need a power outlet.
Ryvera Knutson and Dorin Lyngstad put under arrest for prowling.

Let's get these gifts back to the rightful owner. Do you recognize this jacket? Contact Detective Pendleton at 831-420-5832 or spendleton@cityofsantacruz.com
