Suspected Farm Equipment Thief Caught In Suisun City

SOLANO COUNTY, CA -- The Solano County Sheriff's office arrested a Suisun City man Tuesday on suspicion of stealing farm equipment. Farm trucks, tractors and trailers have been stolen over the past few weeks in the unincorporated areas of the county near Dixon, Vacaville and Vallejo, the sheriff's office said.

Evidence from a recent burglary at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon led to the identification of Lorenzo Chavez-Sanchez, 37, of Suisun as the suspect, the sheriff's office said.

Chavez-Sanchez was found driving a stolen truck pulling a stolen trailer and hauling a stolen tractor Tuesday, the sheriff's office said.

He was arrested for 10 counts of vehicle theft, six counts of possession of stolen property, vandalism and possession of drugs. He was booked in the Solano County jail under $949,999 bail, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office said its dispatchers, local ranchers and Facebook followers helped locate several stolen farm equipment items.
