LAKEHEAD – A burglary trio struck a residence on September 30 at 1:00 a.m. The group struck on the 1800 block of Pine Street.
However, a neighbor called the police to report the burglary. The neighbor said that the burglars stole several rifles and shotguns.
In addition, the burglars left in a white Honda Passport “with a spare tire on the back.” The caller even got a partial read of the license plate – the first four characters.
Before long a Shasta Lake deputy, travelling north on Interstate 5 saw a vehicle going south on the same. The deputy lost the vehicle, but another deputy spotted it at 1880 Shasta Street.
A female resident of the house told arriving deputies that she found 3 men in her home when she arrived.
The deputies then surrounded the house. Phonexay Phonepaseuth came out first, but did not identify himself or give any other information.
After over an hour of continuous calling into the home with a PA, SWAT came to assist.
Once SWAT “positioned their armored vehicles around the house,” the other two suspects exited.
