Two Arrests After Dead Person's Home Burglarized
Two Arrests After Dead Person's Home Burglarized
Two Bay Area residents have been arrested for allegedly looting the home of a deceased Truckee man while authorities continue the search for his next of kin.
Two people have been arrested for allegedly stealing from a 77-year-old Truckee man who had passed away. Nevada County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Ashley Quadros says Eugene Canata had actually died in Nevada, in Washoe County. But next of kin still have not been located. When this occurs, the Department’s Public Administrator then assumes the role and also goes to a decedent’s home…
Quadros says several items had been taken, including
firearms, money, and a vehicle. She says detectives then got involved and two residents
of the Bay Area were identified as people of interest. That was 64-year-old
Michael Robertson of San Carlos and 55-year-old Angela Damico of Belmont…
Quadros also notes that Robertson faces additional charges by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, after the search warrant uncovered evidence of additional crimes and stolen property not related to this case. She says the Public Administrator will continue to advocate for Canata, while the next of kin search continues, and will protect his assets for rightful heirs.
