Geron Smithson, 18, and a 16-year-old minor who was not identified, were taken into custody after a homeowner discovered the pair in his home with a bag full of his property at about 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 27 in the 15100 block of Etienne St. in Lake Elsinore, according to a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department report.
