LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A Lakeport man who has been implicated in a series of crimes, including leaving a suspicious device near a church, has been arrested for a Saturday morning break-in at a Lakeport bicycle shop.
The Lakeport Police Department said Kayden Daniel Collins, 27, was arrested Wednesday morning.
Now, the agency is asking for the community’s help in finding an expensive bicycle they said Collins took during the burglary.
Early on the morning of Saturday, Aug. 27, Lakeport Police officers responded to Konocti Bicycles on Main Street to investigate the report of a burglary.
The front display window was smashed out and a $2,300 2022 Scott Scale 940 bicycle was taken, police said.
The department said Sgt. Victor Rico investigated the case and identified the suspect as Collins.
On Wednesday morning, Sgt. Rico and Officer Juan Altamirano located Collins near Clear Lake off the east end of First Street and arrested him for felony burglary, grand theft and vandalism, police said.
Collins was booked into the Lake County Correctional Facility on the felony charges. His booking sheet shows that he is due to be arraigned in Lake County Superior Court on Friday.
Police said the cost to replace the window is $2000.00 bringing the total loss to the victim to $4300.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the bicycle had not been located and police were seeking the public’s assistance in finding it.
