May 29, 2026 – Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office officials report that on May 26, 2026, at approximately 5:45 a.m., deputies responded to a reported burglary in progress in the 4000 block of June Avenue in Wilseyville.

The property owner, who was out of the area at the time, observed multiple individuals exit a vehicle and approach the residence via his home surveillance system. The subjects, later identified as Caesare Avila, 44, of Sacramento; Salomon Barrera, 28, of Sacramento; Odalis Aralymunoz Gonzalez, 33, of Sacramento; and Lindsey Gwartney, 37, of Roseville, were seen removing surveillance cameras from the residence and a nearby shed.

It was further reported that the subjects used bolt cutters to cut the lock on an electrical panel, interrupting power to the residence and causing the surveillance system to go offline. Based on the subjects’ actions, including disabling the surveillance system and cutting power to the residence, the homeowner believed the subjects were preparing to unlawfully enter the home.

Deputies quickly responded to the scene and immediately detained multiple individuals on the property in order to investigate. At the conclusion of the investigation, coupled with numerous statements, the subjects were subsequently arrested for burglary and conspiracy.

During the investigation, Deputies also located burglary tools, suspected methamphetamine, and metal knuckles in the possession of the subjects, resulting in additional charges. Each individual was transported to the Calaveras County Detention Center for booking.

Detectives will continue to investigate the case by analyzing both physical and digital evidence and following up on any additional investigative leads.

This case also serves as a reminder of the value of residential surveillance systems in protecting property and assisting law enforcement during active investigations. The homeowner’s quick thinking and prompt action in reviewing and providing footage details directly to dispatch greatly supported the initial investigative steps in this case. This information also contributed to identifying the subjects at the scene.
