Synopsis:
On December 23, 2025, at approximately 3:00 a.m., deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a burglary at the Forks Ranch Market in Ukiah. The suspects forced entry into the business and stole lottery tickets, currency, and other identifiable items from inside the store.
During the initial investigation, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office notified Mendocino County dispatch that they were actively investigating two commercial burglaries in their jurisdiction and had located a suspect vehicle in the area of Clearlake Oaks. Lake County deputies detained four suspects associated with the vehicle and observed property inside that was consistent with items reported stolen from the Forks Ranch Market, as well as from their recently discovered burglaries.
Deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office responded to assist the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and confirmed that the suspects were in possession of stolen property from the Forks Ranch Market. Nearly all of the property stolen from the Forks Ranch Market was recovered and is currently in the process of being returned to the Forks Ranch Market. Investigators from the California Lottery also assisted with the investigation related to the stolen lottery products.
Further investigation revealed that the suspect vehicle and additional property located within it matched the description of a vehicle and loss associated with a separate burglary in the City of Ukiah, which the Ukiah Police Department was investigating and which occurred around the same time as the Forks Ranch Market burglary. The connected investigations indicated that the burglaries shared the same suspect vehicle, a similar number of suspects, and consistent methods of operation.
Due to strong collaboration and communication between community members, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, the Ukiah Police Department, and the California Lottery, the involved suspects were identified, and arrested by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and booked into the Lake County Correctional Facility on charges related to the series of burglaries and associated criminal conspiracy and each suspect is being held in custody in lieu of $150,000.00 bail. A large majority of the victims’ reported property from the affected businesses was located and is currently in the process of being returned.”
