Lieutenant Steve Brooks, Public Information Officer


On February 15, 2017, Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to Robinson Casino in Upper Lake for the report of a theft that was captured on video surveillance. Upon viewing the footage, Deputies were able to identify the suspects as, Fabian Rosales-Reyes, Raymond Casillas and Carlos Casillas. The footage showed one suspect sitting next to the victim at a card table. The video showed the suspect, using his foot to push the victim’s purse away from the table, behind him where the second suspect was standing. The third suspect was seen acting as a look out on the casino floor.

The purse was eventually pushed far enough away from the table so the suspect standing behind the victim could reach into it and remove $1500 in cash. The three suspects then left the casino within minutes of stealing the money. A records search showed the three suspects were validated gang members with an extensive history of violence.

On March 08, 2017, The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Gang Task Force, with the assistance of Lake County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit and Lake County Sheriff’s Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T) Team, executed a search warrant and arrest warrants for the three suspects, in the 800 block of Central Park Avenue in Lakeport.

A search of the residence was conducted and items related to the theft were located. Gang paraphernalia was seized along with methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
