ARCATA — Two people were recently arrested in Humboldt County in connection to the alleged theft of a washing machine.
Darren Lee Carter (57) and Eric Christopher Chambers (37) were identified as the primary suspects in the theft, which occurred on the 2500 block of Vaissade Road on the evening of November 3, according to a Sheriff’s Office press release.
Police responded to the area after receiving a report that a suspicious vehicle had been seen leaving an unoccupied residence with the allegedly stolen washing machine and fleeing west toward Manila.
