EPD Arrests Suspect in Vehicle Burglaries

Melecio Lorenzo SandovalOn 11/26/18 at about 2:29 am, two vehicle burglaries were reported to the Eureka Police Department communications center. The burglaries were within close proximity of one another and near an area of the City that has had an increase in theft related crimes.

While investigating the incidents, officers obtained a detailed description of the suspect. Officers immediately began searching the area for the suspect. A short time later, a subject closely matching the suspect’s description was located at the 2900 block of California Street. The subject was identified as Melecio Lorenzo Sandoval (23 years old of Eureka, CA). Sandoval was detained without incident.

As a result of the investigation, officers were able to connect Sandoval to three different vehicle burglaries that occurred during the night and multiple items of stolen property were recovered. Sandoval was taken into custody for burglary and possession of a controlled substance. He was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on the fresh charges.

This is an ongoing investigation and further details will be released as they are available.

a quick google search shows he was arrested and held for 7 days in Jail in early Nov. 2018. I also found his dad. the fruit and tree thing applies here like so many Euekeans. I also found they are both legal Hispanic Americans.

My thoughts exactly. Of Eureka?? Or a citizen of Valdez Mexico? THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT!!!!!!! Maybe it’s time for China to invade U.S. in boats along the Ca shores! Then they can come in; first hit the food stamp office for benefits, then hit the local housing authority for a home, hit dmv for a driver’s license hit a gas station for some cash ; then have Feinstein hit US trying to protect them…….

Throughout most of Mankind’s existence we lived in a World Without Borders China Great Wall separating themselves from Invaders nowadays we seem to separate ourselves from even nature are we so much better then a Mexican are a homeless person are we better than the birds are the Beast a lot of the land was separated when humans started domesticating animals for food and whatever other reasons just because a person has more wealth does not make them better the fact is they probably polluted more then the people they are calling bums and a lot of the Mexicans are harvesting most of the food that the haters are eating I am not saying to give a break to anybody that is stealing are breaking into people’s cars Our lives becareful how you judge others for you will be judged accordingly so it is said in the holy books and it seems that judgment time is here

So if he doesn’t get any jail and he’s seen out doing the same thing should we still call the police?
