LAKE MATHEWS, CA — One person was placed under arrest, and another is being sought in connection with mail theft in the Lake Mathews area, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department shared.

On September 11, 2025, at 3 a.m., deputies assigned to the Lake Mathews Sheriff’s Station responded to the 13000 block of Carista Boulevard in the unincorporated area of Riverside, known as Lake Hills, regarding a report of mail theft, Sgt.

"During a search of the location, evidence of mail theft was discovered, including evidence of additional mail thefts from the cities of Lake Mathews, Ontario, Riverside, and Lake Elsinore," Bolle said.
