Multiple Burglaries And Thefts 

September 19, 2025 – Sutter County Sheriff’s Office officials report that over the past several months, ET Quality RV on East Onstott Road in Yuba City has been the victim of multiple thefts involving RV power cords and other equipment. On September 16, 2025, the business reported another trespass and theft of RV power cords.

Surveillance footage was reviewed by Sutter County Detectives, showing the same suspect seen in previous incidents entering the property, rummaging through several trailers, and searching for additional items to steal. In total, the suspect is believed to have stolen thousands of dollars' worth of electrical cables.

Through investigative efforts, Sutter County Sheriff’s Detectives identified the suspect as 45-year-old Peter Pato, who is unhoused. Detectives located Pato’s camp in the river bottoms north of Eager Road and Live Oak Boulevard. Once contacted, Pato was found actively burning copper wire in preparation for sale.

During a search of Pato's camp, detectives recovered numerous extension cords that had been reported stolen in a prior theft case from the Church of Glad Tidings. The cords were returned to the church and detectives determined that the remaining cords stolen from ET Quality RV had been stripped and sold, prior to contact.

Pato was arrested and booked on numerous charges such as burglary and theft with priors, possession of narcotics, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Great job detectives!!!
