FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
What?! Why?! Who would steal from me?!
Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling in your heart when you realize that someone has stolen your property? It is heart-wrenching and violating.
A business in the 600 block of South Main Street, Angels Camp, recently had the unfortunate experience of being the victim of burglary two times in two days. While investigating the second burglary on May 10, 2022, an Angels Camp Police Department officer was able to identify and arrest a suspect related to both burglaries. Keenan Skaar, a 23-year-old Angels Camp resident, was arrested and booked in to the Calaveras County Jail for the following charges related to both burglaries: 459 PC – Burglary, and 484(a) PC – Petty Theft of Personal Property from Building. Investigators recovered some of the victim’s stolen property at the time of Skaar’s arrest.
Also, on May 10, 2022 – two people were arrested in the 100 block of South Main Street for possessing a vehicle that was reported stolen out of Texas. Jarrod Barron, a 32-year-old Angels Camp resident, was arrested and booked in the Calaveras County Jail for the following charges: 10851 VC – Vehicle Theft, and 1551 PC – Fugitive from Justice. Tina James, a 52-year-old Copperopolis resident, was also arrested and booked in the Calaveras County Jail for the following charge: 10851 VC – Vehicle Theft.
Although these two cases ended with suspects being arrested, unfortunately most cases involving stolen property do not. Let’s work together to reduce theft and keep our community safe. Report suspicious activity when you see it happening.
