The latest El Dorado County home invasion involving pot occurred Dec. 4.

According to the victims, they were asleep when someone kicked-open the door to the backyard at about 7am. At least two people, one armed with a shotgun, entered the house in Rescue, according to sheriff’ deputies. They searched the house, demanding the male resident tell them where the money was.

One male resident received several cuts, including some that required stitches. He was later treated at the hospital and released.

The suspects tied all three victims and left taking money and marijuana. By the time the sheriff’s office was called, the suspects had been gone for some time.

Deputies said the house appeared to have been ransacked. In addition, marijuana was seen in almost every room. It looked like the residence and property was being used as a commercial marijuana facility to include growing, drying, processing, and packaging.

The suspects were described as possibly Hispanic, in their late 20s to mid-30s. One suspect was described as wearing a hoodie and some sort of mask. They were heard talking to each other in English and Spanish.

    Matches the description of the guy who robbed the woman in in EDC a couple of weeks ago. Again, lucky no one was seriously hurt or killed but you can only be lucky so many times. Drugs are not a victimless crime.

    These home invasions by illegals looking for drugs and cash are state wide and usually in areas where they are common like in the Emerald Triangle. When they start coming to areas where they have never happened before it illustrates the problem with drug cultivation in neighborhoods and the open borders disaster and the growing violent crime wave. Time for serious change where drug cultivation is allowed and a crackdown on criminals in the country who shouldn’t be.

    An armed victim might stop their stealing ways. Then they will be good burglars.

    Hey Justn@ss. How does your pal Lawrence Weitzman fit into your Xenophobic picture. Oh yeah, he is Cacasian (or perhaps German/Jewish); never mind.

    You would think home invasions would be enough to wake people up about a failed sanctuary state and open borders disaster. But it is funny with some liberals, they used to be for many things they oppose now. like enforcing the law, supporting the law and the security of the country, banning people illegally here getting services and deporting them, and not importing dangerous people from the Middle East or other countries we are at war with or deem to be on the side of those we are at war with. Now they want refugees, open borders, and no rule of law. Add to this that they want people from the Middle East war zones by the tens of thousands who will be unlikely to ever assimilate. This current open borders open Visa’s and growing refugee disaster is an unwanted invasion by a vast majority. If it isn’t stopped it is certain to be a country losing strategy right out of the EU.

    “Drugs are not a victimless crime.”
    If they were TRULY legal, not semi-okay, medicinal-only, but still Federally prosecutable, you wouldn’t have this nonsense.
    When’s the last time anybody staged a home-invasion robbery over the beer in your fridge???

    Justice sorry facts just keep getting in your drunken narrative. Bummer

    From the FBI 2014 stats:

    Nationwide, there were an estimated 8,277,829 property crimes. The estimated numbers of each of the property crimes show declines when compared with the previous year’s estimates. Burglaries dropped 10.5 percent, larceny-thefts declined 2.7 percent, and motor vehicle thefts were down 1.5 percent.

    Also immigrants (both legal and undocumented) are under-represented in crime stats but hey keep pounded nonwhites it obviously makes you feel superior.

    And lastly, white supremacists, anti-gov citizens (non Muslim) and mentally unstable US citizens have still killed more people in this country then individuals from the Middle East. We should consider taking over southern states and run out all the racists – that would save a lot of Americans.

    Because of morons like Mark Twain and Herman Cain, as soon as someone starts spouting and touting ‘statistics’…many people stop listening.

    Liberals don’t want and can’t stand facts, it makes people see through their lies. If people want more loose felon crimes and more open borders crime and more Middle East crime vote for more liberals.
