Two arrested for grand theft at PG&E facility in American Canyon
AMERICAN CANYON, Calif., March 3, 2025 -Two suspects were arrested Sunday evening after allegedly attempting to steal from a PG&E facility in American Canyon. Shortly before 7:00 p.m. on March 2, American Canyon Police were alerted to trespassers at the PG&E site through security surveillance. One of the individuals was reported wearing a black ski mask and holding what appeared to be a carjack, raising suspicions of an attempted theft.
Officers responded to the area and soon located a vehicle matching the provided description—a silver and black Ford Fusion traveling eastbound on Green Island Road, not far from the facility. A search of the vehicle uncovered a stolen dirt compacter belonging to PG&E, as well as burglary tools, including copper cutters and bolt cutters. Officers also discovered two BB handguns, gloves, and two walkie-talkies inside the car.
The vehicle’s occupants were identified as 38-year-old Franklin Morales of San Pablo and 30-year-old Jose Carrero Rosas of Concord. Their clothing matched the descriptions provided by security personnel.
Both suspects were arrested and booked into the Napa County Jail on charges of possession of burglary tools, grand theft, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
