LAKE TAHOE — Deputies have located the second of two safes stolen in August from a Tahoe City restaurant.
It was found Tuesday off a U.S. Forest Service road on Tahoe's West Shore, said Sgt. John Giovannini of the Placer County Sheriff's Department.
The find comes less than two weeks after deputies searched the home of Tahoma resident Cody Pohl and located the first safe in his backyard.
Giovannini said Pohl, arrested Sept. 23 for stealing five newspaper boxes, hasn't been charged in the Bridgetender thefts, but that investigation is “progressing nicely.”
The sheriff's department has declined to say how much cash each safe contained.
Pohl remains jailed at Placer County Jail in Auburn for suspected theft of the newspaper boxes. His bail is at $10,000, and he faces six felony charges.
Pohl will return to Tahoe City for a for a 10 a.m. preliminary hearing Tuesday in Placer County Superior Court.
