Deputies Arrested Two Men Caught Breaking into Shop Building in Sunny Valley
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested two men for breaking into a shop building in Sunny Valley early yesterday.
According to the Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the incident in the 1400-block of Placer Road on Thursday at about 9:30 a.m..
Deputies said the initial call came into the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center shortly after 6 a.m. when a man reported people parking and trespassing on his property. He advised tire tracks from a vehicle led through his land to another property in back.
The Sheriff's Office contacted that property owner who stated nobody should be there. A neighbor walking his dog came across two men inside a shop building going through items. Deputies caught the two men as they were driving away.
According to the report, stolen items removed from the vehicle were valued at more than $100 and less than $1,000. They were returned to the property owner.
The two suspects -- ages 47 and 39 -- were placed into custody, transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for 2nd-Degree Burglary and 2nd-Degree Theft. Both men were being held without bail.
