Overview

• Belkis Gutierrez, 35, and Heydi Flores-Arias, 32, were booked into Marin County Jail without bail on theft, elder abuse, and conspiracy charges.
• Investigators connected incidents from Nov. 22, 2024 and July 8 that followed the same script targeting older Marin residents.
• Victims aged 89 and 95 lost a combined $35,000, including $19,000 picked up by a courier at a Kentfield home and $16,000 from a Santa Venetia resident.
• Detectives seized cash from a Sacramento residence tied to the suspects and are tracing where the money originated and went.
• The Sheriff’s Office urged residents to verify any claimed jail booking directly with facilities and to refuse any request to hand cash to couriers, noting banks do not send cash collectors.
