Detectives Arrest Prolific Elementary School Burglar In February 2025, the Marin County Sheriff's Office received a report of a suspicious male loitering on an elementary school campus during a school-wide assembly. Following the assembly, several teachers discovered bank cards were missing from their wallets/purses stored inside their classrooms. The teachers soon received thousands of dollars of fraudulent charges on their stolen bank cards. Through investigation, the suspect was identified as 34-year-old Christopher Britton, of Fairfield. As the investigation continued, Britton was discovered to have burglarized at least three other schools in Marin County, victimizing many more teachers. Britton was also found to have committed nearly identical burglaries of elementary schools in Alameda County and Contra Costa County as well. At the time of the burglaries, Britton was out on bail in Solano County for a series of residential burglaries. On April 25, 2025, a multi-agency search warrant and arrest warrant operation, led by the Vacaville Police Department, was conducted to apprehend Britton involving the Lafayette Police Department, Danville Police Department, Marin County Sheriff's Office, and the Dublin Police Services. Britton was located, arrested, and booked into the Marin County Jail on a no-bail Marin County arrest warrant and a $210,000 Contra Costa County Ramey Warrant for several counts of burglary and fraud-related charges. The Marin County Sheriff's Office would like to extend to the Vacaville Police Department, Lafayette Police Department, Danville Police Department, and Dublin Police Department for their collaboration and assistance in this investigation.
