Donald Bailey, 36, and Bruce Pagenkopp, 25, were each involved in at least one commercial burglary in 2017, according to the Butte County Sheriff's Office.

BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. — Two men were arrested in connection to a series of burglaries in the Oroville area more than two years ago, the Butte County Sheriff's Office said.

The sheriff's office conducted more interviews related to three commercial burglaries in Oroville on April 17, 2017. This led detectives to Donald Bailey, who was already in Butte County Jail for unrelated charges. Bailey was interviewed Monday and admitted to participating in one of the burglaries by acting as a lookout, according to the sheriff's office.
