Officials: Construction sites in Sonoma County burn zones burglarized
Sgt. Spencer Crum of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office reported that on Thursday morning the sheriff’s office and the Windsor Police Department took several burglary reports of constructions sites.
In the 100 block of Willowgeen Place in the Larkfield burn zone there three storage trailers reportedly broken into and tools removed, Crum said.
In the 80 block of Dorchester Lane in the Larkfield burn zone Crum said there was a single storage trailer broken into and construction tools removed.
In Windsor at a construction site near Hembree and Victory Lane, there was another construction trailer broken into with tools removed, according to Crum.
Crum said these crimes happened last night or in the early morning hours.
In all three of these locations, Crum said the trailers were locked tight and some were blocked by heavy equipment that had to be moved to gain entry. The thieves took some time to gain entry and had to make a lot of noise according to the investigating deputy.
“Victimizing people who are trying to rebuild their homes in the face of the worst disaster in Sonoma County history is completely unacceptable,” said Sheriff Rob Giordano.
He added that the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office will be investigating these crimes to the full extent and will be providing extra patrols of all construction areas.
Area residents are also asked to take extra vigilant efforts to watch out for suspicious people that don’t belong in the construction areas at night and to call Sonoma County Sheriff’s Dispatch at 707-565-2121 if anything suspicious is observed.
