Three stolen vehicles recovered in alleged Ukiah theft, suspects allegedly driving under the influence

On 12-17-2015 at approximately 10:22 PM Deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report of a stolen dump trailer and vandalism of a vehicle in the 2000 block of North State Street in Ukiah, California.

Witnesses reported seeing three suspect vehicles leaving the Mendocino Auto Action property after vandalizing a vehicle and stealing an oversized dump trailer.

Once Deputies arrived at the location a vehicle was located, which had all of its windows broken out, and the trailer was found missing (stolen).

During a search of the area Deputies located the three suspect vehicles in Redwood Valley, California.

After conducting traffic stops of the vehicles, Jose H. Lopez and Jose A. Lopez were arrested for felony vandalism, conspiracy, and grand theft in connection with the incident.

The California Highway Patrol assisted the Sheriff's Office and determined Jose H. Lopez and Jose A. Lopez had been driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage.  Both were subsequently arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

The trailer was subsequently located and recovered at a different location in Redwood Valley.

Jose H. Lopez and Jose A. Lopez were booked into the Mendocino County Jail for the listed violations and were to be held in lieu of $20,000.00 bail.
