Three teenagers are in custody and fourth is being sought in the connection with an attempted residential burglary in Truckee.

When Truckee police officers arrived at an apartment complex on May 19 at 2:05am three suspects were outside.

One tried to run, but was arrested after a short struggle. A second subject was located hiding in a nearby stairwell.

Screams from a woman in another unit led officers to the third suspect who they said was attempting to force his way into an apartment unit through the front door. The suspect was physically assaulting the female resident in an attempt to gain entry to her apartment, officers said. The suspect was arrested after a short struggle with officers.

The female resident suffered minor injuries from the assault, but did not require treatment.

Several items of property were recovered by officers. The property appears connected to vehicles that were burglarized during the night at the complex.

A Placer County Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit searched the area for a possible fourth subject. During the search, the K-9 led officers to other units that had apparently been tampered with by the suspects. The fourth subject was not located.

Two of the people arrested are 17-year-old males; the third is Isreal Angelo Tenorio, 18. Charges included burglary, attempted burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, violation of probation, and resisting arrest. One of the juveniles was also charged with the assault on the resident.
