Two Truckee residents were arrested Dec. 11 because of their suspected involvement with a series of thefts during Thanksgiving weekend.

People had reported electronics and personal property being stolen from unlocked vehicles.

Placer County sheriff’s deputies were interested in talking to Wiley Washam on an unrelated matter.

“During their investigation, a detective noticed Washam was in possession of a distinct property item. The detective notified Truckee police detectives and the item was confirmed as recently stolen in Truckee,” Truckee officers said in a press release.

Detectives searched a residence in Truckee and recovered numerous stolen items, including pieces of identification belonging to victims.

The occupant of the residence, Brittany Nash, was arrested on charges of possession of stolen property, conspiracy and criminal activity while on bail. Washam was charged with possession of stolen property and conspiracy.
