I wonder if any known, repeat offending thieves live within walking distance of where the stolen vehicle was found in the Mill Creek area of Hoopa. I’d bet there’s at least one.

You know, there is more than one mill creek in Humboldt county, I didn’t see a specific location?

I believe they said Hoopa because the last stolen vehicle during a home invasion robbery was found there.

According to this website and the LCO website, the upper Mill Creek area where the stolen vehicle was found is the one in Hoopa. That is what my comment is based on.

Illegals trying to get back to the cartel base and home across the border? This looks like it is right of out Mexico and S. America where this is even more common. Criminals like this need to be dealt with not welcomed and given welfare and a drivers license. This is an invasion of dangerous criminals with no fear of doing whatever whenever.
