Two California men arrested for burglary involving over $100,000 in stolen goods

Two men from California have been arrested in connection with a burglary that resulted in the theft of more than $100,000 worth of tools, copper wire, and vehicles. The alleged theft occurred on July 6 at a business in American Canyon, according to the American Canyon Police Department. Officers responded to a reported burglary in the 1100 block of Green Island Road. Investigators identified two vehicles linked to the burglary and communicated this information to nearby law enforcement agencies. The next day, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office stopped one of the vehicles and detained the driver, Daniel Lemas, 53, of Hayward. Evidence collected during the investigation included selfies that allegedly show Lemas committing the burglary. Lemas was arrested on burglary charges and booked into the Napa County Department of Corrections. On July 8, the Hayward Police Department stopped the second vehicle associated with the burglary and detained the driver, 49-year-old Dennis Tylij of Hayward. Tylij was arrested by American Canyon police and booked into the Napa County Department of Corrections on a felony conspiracy charge. A search warrant executed at a residence in Hayward led to the recovery of some stolen property. Lemas has posted $25,000 bail and was released, while Tylij remains in custody.
