Is posted for information leading to conviction in burglaries having taken place in the Beckwourth area and are currently under investigation by the Plumas County Sheriff's Office. Back on the night of October 8th, Nervino Airport in Beckwourth was robbed when the front door was picked. The culprits cleaned out a tool box, leaving the box and taking insignificant items such as a roll-around stool. Among the most expensive items was a Schwinn red mountain bike and red and white helmet, a red and white radio-controlled airplane and various valuable avionics test equipment which fortunately is all registered with the FAA. The Dobbas' hay barn in Plumas County also got hit, with two batteries taken out of the loader used as a hay squeeze. A break-in at JC Enterprises on October 13th ended with an estimated loss of $8,000 which included an older Lincoln portable welder on a small, 2-wheeled trailer. Also taken were an Ingersol Rand air wrench, Mac Tools air wrench, Chicago Pneumatic air wrenches, Makita electric portable grinder 8", Dewalt electric grinders, Makita electric skill saw and portable drill, Pneumatic Slag hammer, S&K tools socket set, Taiwan made 3/4" drive socket set, Craftsman Tap & Die set, three different Victor cutting torch set ups including regulators and hoses, miscellaneous hand tools out of a tool box, Slugger cut off saw, Stihl TS 400 cut off saw, miscellaneous brass pipe fittings, partial and new rolls of romex and assorted wire. Then during the early morning hours of October 19th several motorhomes and businesses were burglarized in the area near Hawley Road, including Mountain View Industrial Park. Unknown suspects forced entry into approximately 15 motorhomes and/or structures and stole several items of value, including televisions and propane tanks. It was also reported the Caltrans yard trucks were targeted with cut lines and stolen gas. A lot of local people are very angry, they are not going to put up with this behavior any more. The drug users, dealers and meth providers take notice, you are being watched and we are coming after you! Sheriff Hagwood met recently with these angry citizens and he stated, "The citizens should not be nervous, the scum bags should be nervous!" This rotten behavior must stop, why would a person take drugs in the first place don't they realize they are giving up their lives to a substance that will eventually kill them? The drugs are in charge of their lives so why would anyone want to be led by the nose by a drug? It boggles the mind. So if they can't be responsible citizens then what happens to them is their own fault. They must feel justified in stealing from local residents, from people they have known for a long time. There is an organized group of citizens who are working with the Sheriff's Department, they will be looking and reporting what is seen. The people of this County and City of Portola deserve better! The $5,000 reward is offered for the capture and conviction of any of these people. The person with information can be anonymous, just let the Sheriff at the Substation in Portola know the details. We are coming! Anyone with information regarding the thefts are encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office at (530) 283-6300.
