CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Police officers on Tuesday arrested a Lucerne man alleged to have stolen a car and taken other items during a Northshore burglary.
Raymon Narvaes, 30, was taken into custody in the case, according to a report from Clearlake Police Sgt. Nick Bennett.
Bennett said that on Tuesday Det. Ryan Peterson and Det. Travis Lenz were conducting followup investigations and were in the area of the 15000 block of Polk Street when they observed a suspicious vehicle.
A check of the vehicle license plate showed it had been recently reported stolen from Lucerne, Bennett said.
He said Peterson and Lenz pulled the vehicle over and the occupant – identified as Narvaes – was taken into custody.
The investigation by the detectives revealed that Narvaes had stolen the vehicle while burglarizing the home of the vehicle's owner, Bennett said.
In addition to the vehicle, several items stolen during the burglary were recovered, as well as items that Bennett said may link Narvaes to other thefts.
The suspect was booked into the Lake County Jail for vehicle theft, burglary and possession of stolen property, Bennett said.
Due to a felony parole violation added to the charges against Narvaes, he is being held without bail, according to jail records.
Bennett said the Clearlake Police report on Narvaes was forwarded to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office for additional investigation as the primary offense occurred in that agency's jurisdiction.
