East County News Service

August 23, 2015 (Lakeside) – Yesterday at 5:30 a.m., 16 detectives and deputies from the Lakeside Sheriff's Substation conducted a probation compliance/directed patrol operation in the Lakeside area. Thirteen people were arrested, including five on warrants and seven on misdemeanor crimes. Stolen property was also recovered, including a $1,500 sound system control console.

The probation compliance objective was to contact active probationers and verify they are abiding by the terms of their releases from county jail. The probationers were identified through crime and intelligence analysis as individuals most likely to re-offend.

In addition, Deputies from the Court Service Bureau Field Division actively worked warrants in the same general area. Also targeted were persons who were illegally lodging or trespassing on public and private land. In cooperation with state and county resources, clean up of open areas and encampments was also planned.
