El Dorado County sheriff’s deputies made an arrest Feb. 7 after receiving a series of reports of mail theft in Cameron Park. During the investigation detectives discovered hundreds of residents were potentially victimized, sheriff’s officials said.

Johnathan James Stoltzmoore, 25, was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of mail theft, forgery and receiving stolen property, according to inmate records at the county jail. Stoltzmoore also had an outstanding arrest warrant and was contacted by deputies at a Country Club Drive apartment complex. He remained in the jail’s custody Thursday on $30,000 bail.

Detectives are working to identify all mail theft victims. The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office is requesting any surveillance video or photos that might have captured mail theft activity be emailed to propertycrimes@edso.org, even if not a victim of the crimes. Investigators also ask potential victims to provide their name, address and phone number to the Sheriff’s Office.
