Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen said police were dispatched at 8:20 a.m. Sunday to the 400 block of Campbell Lane to investigate a burglary at Borges Logging after an observant citizen saw two suspicious male subjects at the property.
Police met with the business owner and found that locks on the property gate and buildings had been cut and the buildings entered with property removed from them, Rasmussen said.
He said police believe that the two male subjects had been on the property for at least an hour and were in the process of removing items from buildings to be loaded into a vehicle when the citizen spotted them.
Rasmussen said most of the property, including tools and equipment, was recovered at the scene after the subjects fled the area. Police also located evidence which we believe may assist in the identification of the vehicle and suspects.
The suspects are described as white male adults, both between the ages of 20 and 25 years, Rasmussen said.
He described the first man as approximately 6 feet tall, 170 to 180 pounds, clean shaven with sideburns. He was seen wearing a black beanie cap, dark colored sweatshirt and dark colored pants.
The second man has a thin build, was unshaven with reddish-colored stubble, had a groove between his two upper front teeth, a tongue ring and was wearing a dark green beanie cap, according to Rasmussen.
He said the vehicle the men were driving was described as a late model white sedan, possibly a Chevrolet Impala or Buick.
Then at 3:30 a.m. Monday the Lakeport Police Department was dispatched to the 1900 block of Alden Avenue to investigate the report of suspicious adult male subjects prowling around a residence, Rasmussen said.
Prior to officers’ arrive, the subjects fled in a vehicle which Rasmussen said was described as a dark-colored, possibly maroon, compact to mid-size sedan.
The department is continuing to investigate the incidents and does not know if they are
related, Rasmussen said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491.
