LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Authorities have arrested a Napa man who they said is responsible for burglarizing vehicles in the south county.

Manuel Madrigal, 42, was arrested Nov. 1, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office reported.

In October, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office began investigating a series of vehicle burglaries that occurred in Hidden Valley Lake during the early and later part of October.

Several local businesses reported their work trucks were burglarized, with several thousand dollars worth of tools stolen, the sheriff’s office said.

During the investigation, the businesses were able to provide video surveillance that captured the vehicle used during the burglaries. The sheriff’s office said a detective used the automated license plate readers and was able to locate the vehicle in the area of each of the burglaries around the time the burglaries occurred.

The vehicle was found to be connected to Madrigal, the sheriff’s office said.

On Friday, detectives from both the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and Napa County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at Madrigal's residence.

While searching the residence, detectives recovered over $1,000 worth of stolen tools from the Hidden Valley Lake burglaries, authorities said.

Madrigal was arrested on felony charges related to grand theft, possession of stolen property and vandalism, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies transported Madrigal to Lake County, where he was booked at the Hill Road Correctional Facility in Lakeport.

Jail records showed that he remained in custody on Monday, with bail set at $50,000.

“This is still considered an active and ongoing investigation,” the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said in a Monday statement.

The agency said detectives recovered a large number of additional tools, which are also believed to have been stolen from Lake County or other surrounding counties. Detectives are working with other nearby law enforcement agencies in identifying the owners of the property.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office thanked the Napa County Sheriff's Office for assisting during the investigation.
