Tiburon Police Announces Arrest in Multiple Commercial Burglaries and Thefts

On December 10th, 2024, at approximately 7:00 PM, the Tiburon Police Department responded to a report of shoplifting at the CVS Pharmacy located at 1599 Tiburon Boulevard. The incident, which occurred earlier in the day around 3:30 PM, involved a suspect who filled a black bag with merchandise and fled the store without attempting to pay. It was later determined that 196 items of cosmetics, valued at $2,423.40, were stolen during the incident.

Following a thorough investigation, Tiburon Police Department investigators identified the suspect as 20-year-old San Francisco resident, Taliah Elaine Addi. Additionally, investigators identified Addi's vehicle. A $100,000 arrest warrant was obtained for Addi. On February 8th, 2025, the Richmond Police Department located Addi and attempted a traffic stop. However, Addi fled the scene.

On March 28th, 2025, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) located Addi and arrested her in Corte Madera, CA. During a search of the area, Addi 's vehicle was located. Based on the vehicle being used in a reckless manner when it evaded officers, the Richmond Police Department obtained a 30-day seizure order. During a vehicle inventory, CHP officers discovered Addi's purse inside the vehicle which contained additional stolen property from retail establishments in Marin County and Contra Costa County.

During additional follow-up investigation, Tiburon Police Department investigators discovered that on March 17th, 2025, Addi was at the Tiburon CVS Pharmacy again. In this incident, Addi had removed the license plates from her vehicle prior to arriving at the store. Investigators met with CVS Pharmacy staff and determined Addi entered the store, concealed 270 cosmetic and beauty products in a large black bag, and fled the store. The loss was determined to be valued at $3,094.73.

It was determined Addi was linked to other retail thefts currently being investigated by the Central Marin Police Authority and the San Jose Police Department.

Through the diligent work of Tiburon Police Department investigators and collaborative efforts with the Richmond Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Central Marin Police Authority, and the Marin County District Attorney's Office, Addi was arrested and booked for the outstanding commercial burglary warrant (stemming from the December 10th, 2024 incident), as well as a separate violation of commercial burglary (stemming from the March 17th, 2025 incident). Both violations are felonies.

Additionally, the information recovered during these investigations has provided other agencies with valuable information as they pursue criminal investigations in their respective jurisdictions involving Addi. Addi's vehicle remains impounded for 30 days.

"This arrest underscores the dedication of the Tiburon Police Department in ensuring our community remains safe and protected. We are committed to holding accountable those who come to Tiburon to commit crimes, and we will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to tackle criminal activity in the region," said Captain Jarrod Yee of the Tiburon Police Department.
