Sheriff Martin Ryan said in a release today that the series of burglaries occurred in the unincorporated county area off Shake Ridge Road and in the area of Willow Creek Road, between April 4, 2009 and April 13, 2010. Amador Sheriff’s “detectives conducted the investigation which connected the burglaries based in part, upon the time of day, method of entry and type of property targeted,” Ryan said. Based on the investigation conducted by ACSO detectives, arrest warrants were obtained for James Anthony Guerrero, 18, of Citrus Heights; Brandon Taylor Neuman, 19, of Citrus Heights; and Casey Robert Clark, 19, of Sutter Creek. All 3 have been arrested and charged with residential burglary. During the week of June 7th, Amador detectives arrested Guerrero, who was also charged with possession of stolen property. Guerrero’s bail was set at $60,000. Detectives also arrested Neuman, whose bail was set at $50,000. Sutter Creek Police Department arrested Clark on the burglary warrant during an unrelated traffic detention. Clark’s bail was set at $50,000. Ryan said to date more than $17,000 worth of stolen property has been recovered” by ACSO detectives. The stolen property primarily consisted of jewelry, computers and other electronics. Information obtained during the investigation indicates the suspects may be responsible for as many as 37 residential burglaries within unincorporated areas of Amador County and Citrus Heights, however, at this point the suspects have only been positively linked to 10 burglaries within Amador County. “During the course of the investigation, which included neighborhood canvases, interviews and surveillance operations, detectives obtained descriptions of 3 possible suspects and a possible vehicle used in the commission of the crimes.” A follow up investigation led to Citrus Heights, and with assistance from the Citrus Heights Police Department, some property stolen from burglaries in the Willow Creek area was recovered, dumped in a vacant lot, near one of the suspect’s residences. Ryan said that as the “burglary investigation continued, it was determined that 2 of the burglary suspects, were also the focus of a narcotics investigation being conducted by the Amador County Combined Narcotics Enforcement Taskforce.” Investigators found more stolen property that had been “hidden, pawned and/or dumped, within Amador County and within the city of Citrus Heights.” TSPN News Report.
