Sonora PD press release re: Burglary suspects and counterfeit update

On 15 April 2014, at approx. 1516 hours, two men entered Tia’s Tubs and Toys located at 716 Mono Way. While one of the suspects distracted the employee, the other removed 16 packages of flea medication worth $960.

Both the suspects were caught on store surveillance video. The quality is not great, but the police department is releasing the photographs of the suspects in hopes to identify them. The below photographs depict each of the suspects separately and one with them together.
UPDATE:
Recently, the police department released photos of three people involved in the passing of several counterfeit $20 bills at Wal Mart. Within a few minutes of posting the photos on our facebook page, someone called and identified one of the male subjects. Approximately a week later, another person called and identified the female subject.



The male was identified as Brandon Birdsong, 37 of Modesto. Birdsong is currently on probation for the same offense. The female was identified as Shiray Muna, 36, who is believed to be in the Modesto or Lodi area. The report on this incident has been forwarded to the Tuolumne County District Attorney’s Office for review.
