CARMEL, Calif.-  After Monday's tragedy in Boston, at one of the world's most famous foot races, the organizers of similar large events are taking a hard look at their own security measures including here on the Central Coast. 

In Carmel, about 10,000 runners will cross the finish line for the Big Sur Internation Marathon in less than two weeks.  We found out several local race directors were in Boston, some helping with the Boston Marathon and some were running.  We've been told all of them are safe and they plan to ease any concerns for runners.

"We had never thought that a marathon could be a potential target.  Now here at the sheriff's office, anytime you get a large group of individuals together at an international event, that you're a potential target," said Monterey County Sheriff's Department Chief of Operations Chuck Monarque.

BOULDER CREEK, Calif. - Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Deputy April Skalland tells Central Coast News that there has been a possible sighting of a suspect wanted for robbery and burglary.

Skalland says 42-year-old Dimitri Storm may have been spotted near the Boulder Creek Golf Course Wednesday night. She says the sheriff's office is also investigating reports of car burglaries and stolen vehicles in the area.

Investigators believe Storm is responsible for a robbery and burglary in Santa Cruz, car burglaries in Ben Lomond, and other crimes in Sonoma County.

According to the sheriff's office, Storm may be in one of these stolen vehicles:

-- Black 2013 Audi Q5 Quattro, with a license plate number of 6ZAM472 and with a black and white "Junior Lifeguards" sticker on the rear bumper (stolen from Boulder Creek in the last day)
