Multi-County Burglary Spree Ends: Suspect Arrested with $60K Haul in Lakeport

“Multi-county burglary suspect arrested!

On February 23, 2024, around 3:00 am, Deputies from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office located a vehicle connected to a suspect in a string of burglaries across Lake and Mendocino Counties in the parking lot of Bruno’s Market, Lakeport.

Deputies contacted the driver of the vehicle, Tyrone Brennen, 38, of Arcata.
Brennen is a suspect in commercial burglaries committed in Lake and Mendocino Counties from November 2023 through January 2024. In early February 2024, Deputy McCabe obtained a felony arrest warrant for Brennen for a burglary committed in Lake County. Brennen was placed under arrest by the deputies for the warrant and transported to the Hill Road Correctional Facility to be booked.

Deputy McCabe, who has been actively investigating the Lake County burglaries, authored and assisted in the execution of a search warrant for Brennen’s vehicle soon after Brennen’s arrest. Deputies located sophisticated tools that are believed to have been used to commit the burglaries. Deputies also located clothing similar to what the suspect was seen wearing in video surveillance while casing the businesses and while committing the burglaries.

Brennen allegedly stole upwards of $60,000 and caused thousands of dollars in damages throughout the burglaries in Lake and Mendocino Counties.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office for their collaboration in this ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information related to this case can contact Deputy McCabe at (707)262-4200 or via email at matthew.mccabe@lakecountyca.gov.”
