LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is investigating a report of a stolen vehicle that it said may be connected to burglaries in a city neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.

A 1994 Ford F150 pickup, white with a green stripe, was taken from Royale Avenue late Tuesday afternoon, the agency said. Police said the pickup's California license plate number is 4W91769.

Police said the pickup may have been taken by a male subject who was being sought for burglaries that occurred earlier in the day in the area of the 300 block of Sixth Street.

Just before 3 p.m. officers responded to a report of a male subject who was burglarizing a residence and loading the stolen items into the victim's pickup truck. The subject fled toward Fifth Street with a hammer in his hand.

Police described the male subject as a white male adult, in his late 20s or early 30s, 6 feet tall with a thin build, short dark brown hair and a goatee, and wearing a black shirt, cut-off jean shorts and black skate shoes. He has tattoos on his arms and hands.

Officers located five firearms and a bag of ammunition in the victim's pickup truck which didn't belong to the victim, police said.

The man may have fled Lake County in the stolen vehicle and police currently have a “be on the lookout” issued to law enforcement.

Anyone who sees the stolen Ford pickup is asked to call 911 and not to approach the subject, who may be armed and dangerous.

Police also are investigating the possibility that the same male subject may have been involved with another stolen vehicle – a green Ford Explorer out of Santa Rosa – that was recovered from the parking lot of the Lake County District Attorney's Office a short time before the Sixth Street burglaries.

As of late Tuesday, police said no one had come forward to claim the recovered long guns, shown in the photo above, and officers have been unable to confirm if the suspect has stolen any other guns.

Anyone who recognizes stolen guns is asked to call the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491, Extension 32.
