Two burglary suspects collared by Tehama County homeowner
By CHERYL BRINKLEY-DN Staff Writer
A 15-year-old Orland youth and 28-year-old Live Oak resident have been booked into the Tehama County Jail for alleged burglary.
Curtis Machlin arrived at his home just before noon Wednesday and noticed an unfamiliar vehicle in his driveway, according to a Tehama County Sheriffs Department report.
Machlin entered the residence and noticed that items had been moved.
A male suspect was located in the backyard, but quickly fled to the vehicle and drove away through an orchard, the report said.
Machlin followed and eventually caught up with the vehicle on Malton Switch Road after it stopped to pick up a female companion, the report said.
Machlins vehicle and the suspect vehicle collided, the report said. Machlin then detained the suspects with a shotgun until sheriffs deputies arrived on the scene.
The juvenile and Silveria Melo were treated at a local hospital and released, the report said.
The juvenile is in custody at the Juvenile Justice Center in Red Bluff, while Melo was booked into the Tehama County Jail with bail being set at $25,000, the report said.
Machlin was also treated and released from a local hospital for injuries suffered during the collision.
A video camera, digital camera, and miscellaneous food items had been taken from the residence, but were recovered from the suspects vehicle, the report said.
