The Washoe County Sheriff's Office has announced a sixth arrest in an extensive six-month long home burglary investigation.
Deputies say they were originally called to a home in Lemmon Valley in July 2021 where the homeowner's cargo containers had been broken into. Inside, about $200,000 worth of medical equipment, tools, several cars, including a 1940s era Ford Deluxe coupe, multiple ATVs, multiple catamaran boats, multiple trailers – as well as priceless family heirlooms were all missing. Since then, authorities say detectives have recovered nearly $100,000 worth of the stolen property and the priceless family heirlooms.
With the assistance of regional teams like the Regional Crime Suppression Unit (RCSU) and the Regional Narcotics Unit (RNU), Washoe County detectives were able to establish that a group of possible of suspects.
