Eureka

Humboldt County Waste Management facilityThe activation of a silent alarm led Eureka Police Department officers to the red-handed arrest of a 47-year-old Eureka man last night.

At about 9:30 p.m. officers were dispatched to the Humboldt County Waste Management facility at 1059 West Hawthorne Street -- the same location which had been experiencing a rash of recent burglaries in which unidentified parties had been burglarizing the place overnight, including twice in just the past week.

After setting up a perimeter around the property, officers observed a male subject inside the fenced property carrying several items as he headed towards the exit gate. According to the EPD release, officers ordered the man, Aaron Wade Kangas, to the ground at gunpoint. He was handcuffed and taken into custody without further incident, and booked at the county jail on burglary charges.

Kangas was carrying several items belonging to HCWM at the time police arrested him, including a portable stereo. The items were recovered and returned to the business.
