Two suspects were arrested Friday in the Silver Lake area for an alleged carjacking in Stanislaus County and for being in possession of stolen property. Mark Raymond Whiteley and Solanda Sutherland, both residents of Waterford, CA, were found in the disabled vehicle along Highway 88 Friday morning by the CHP. A routine license check revealed that the car was stolen in an alleged carjacking. The suspects were taken into custody at gunpoint. Several chainsaws were found inside the vehicle. With assistance from other officers, it was determined that the suspects had allegedly committed several other felonies, including the theft of the chainsaws, which belong to a Pioneer man who helped the suspects with their car earlier that week. The suspects were transported to Jackson and booked into the Amador County Jail Friday afternoon. Both Whiteley and Sutherland reportedly have gang affiliations and are charged with carjacking, grand theft, and receiving stolen property. Each are being held on $100,000 bail.
