LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is seeking information on two men who allegedly broke into the Lakeport Kmart early Tuesday morning.
Lakeport Police officers were dispatched to the store to investigate the burglary, which occurred at approximately 2 a.m., according to Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.
Rasmussen said when officer arrived they determined that two white male subjects forced open one of the main front doors and entered the store.
The subjects were apparently unaware that there was a night stocking crew working inside of the store, Rasmussen said.
A member of the stocking crew spotted the subjects inside of the store and when they realized they had been spotted, they fled the store. Rasmussen said they got into a vehicle with no headlights on and left traveling southbound on S. Main Street.
Due to the short time the two men were in the store before being spotted, Rasmussen said police do not believe that they were able to take any merchandise.
Rasmussen said the two subjects are described as white males in their late teens (possibly 16 to 18 years old), both wearing dark clothing including hooded sweatshirts and dark pants, with one also wearing a dark ball cap. Both were between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing between 140 and 165 pounds.
The vehicle is described as a light metallic – possibly silver or light gold – four-door sedan, and may be a Chevrolet Cavalier, Rasmussen said.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491.
