Deputies from the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to the business about 3:17 p.m., after receiving reports of a burglary, Riverside Sheriff’s Sgt. Javier Morando has since reported.

During their investigation, deputies were provided a description of the suspect, according to Morando; who said, “Shortly after the burglary, a patrol deputy located the suspect at Lakeshore Dr. and Avenue 6, in the City of Lake Elsinore.”

After detaining the man, since identified as Rodney James Nebres, 34, of Murrieta, deputies conducted an in-field identification, at which time the victim positively identified the man as the person who allegedly burglarized the business.

Based on their investigation, deputies arrested Nebres and he was transported to Cois Bryd Detention Center in Murrieta, where he was booked on suspicion of burglary and possession of stolen property. He was also booked on warrants related to trespassing, failure to appear or pay fines, and making annoying phone calls.

Online jail records indicate Nebres was released today after posting $30,000 bail or bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned at Murrieta’s Southwest Justice Center June 26.

Anyone with further information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact Deputy O’Steen from the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station at (951) 245-3300. Callers can refer to incident file number L201610050 and can remain anonymous.
