From the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

On 6-24-17 the Sheriff’s Office investigated a Grand Theft that occurred on Elk Ridge Road near the town of Briceland. Numerous items were stolen from the property including:

• Two 2500 gallon water tanks $2600 total
• Fifteen 240 watt solar panels $3750 total

The victim recontacted the Sheriff’s Office on 07-14-17 to report additional property had been taken. Three 20,000 gallon water bladders (total $12,000) were taken during the second theft. A game camera caught photographs of the suspects removing the bladders from the property. The suspect vehicle was also photographed.
