LAKEPORT, Calif. – Police said Friday that evidence has linked a north Lakeport teenager arrested earlier that day for a burglary to a second break-in incident nearby.
Jaime Luis Mitchell, 19, was arrested Friday morning after he allegedly was caught in the act of burglarizing a home in the 100 block of S. Polk Street, as Lake County News has reported.
A man who lived at the home reportedly caught Mitchell in the act and detained him while waiting for police to arrive, Lakeport Police Sgt. Kevin Odom reported.
Mitchell, who police said has prior burglary arrests and is on probation for burglary, allegedly had burglary tools in his possession, and was booked into the Lake County Jail for a felony count of burglary, a misdemeanor count of possession of burglary tools and a misdemeanor probation hold.
Later in the morning it was reported that a home nearby, in the 100 block of S. Starr Street, also had been broken into, police said.
By Friday afternoon, Lakeport Police officers had located evidence that linked Mitchell to the S. Starr Street burglary, according to Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.
As a result of that evidence, Rasmussen said Mitchell was booked for an additional count of
first-degree burglary.
Rasmussen said his officers also developed information that Mitchell was assisted in the burglaries by two additional male subjects who are believed to be residents of Lake County.
The other two subjects have not yet been identified but officers are continuing the investigation, said Rasmussen, adding that additional information would be released as it becomes available.
