The second robbery was reported on the 600 block of Sherwood Road at the home of city councilman Alex Wan around 12:48 p.m.
Only a $10 bottle of wine was taken from the house.
“We can’t determine anything that they took, except for a bottle of cheap white wine,” Wan told Project Q. “Nothing of note was taken, the dogs were not harmed. It was very weird.”
