Mountain Ranch, CA…On April 25 at about 00:42 AM, a citizen driving past Senders Market (Mountain Ranch) activated 911 to report a burglary in progress. Deputies were immediately dispatched to the Market, which is both groceries and a hardware store, to begin an investigation. Upon arrival, deputies heard a noise coming from the rear of the business and located a hole cut in the fence leading to the lumber storage area. After establishing a perimeter, deputies entered and began searching for suspects. While searching, Deputies located David Corsaro, age 34 of Lathrop, and detained him without incident.
