Law enforcement officers are tightening the screws on a Los Angeles duo accused of a slew of crimes, including possession of stolen property and illegal firearms charges. Alejandro Gonzalez, 39, and Jose Guzman, 38, were both nabbed at a residence in Pinon Hills, a remote area taken straight out of a cowboy's map.
The drama unfolded early last Friday when deputies arrived at a locked gate housing not just one, but a trio of stolen industrial equipment. Among the haul was a distinctive Bobcat, signaled out by its concrete-busting attachment. The investigation picked up pace on Wednesday with a new search warrant leading to the recovery of nearly $20,000 worth of fencing, reportedly bought with stolen credit cards from Sacramento.
In this tangled web where stolen goods and drug possession intertwine, the detail emerges of a convicted felon, Guzman, found with a $1,110,000.00 warrant for his arrest from Los Angeles County on weapons violations. His partner in crime, Gonzalez, was caught with methamphetamine on him, adding a controlled substance charge to his rap sheet. "During a search of property, a second subject, Jose Guzman, was located," the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department reported.
The address, 10700 Block of Boy Scout Ranch Road, might as well have been an Aladdin’s cave for the lawmen, who discovered ammunition for a high-powered rifle inside the house, turning it into ground zero for an armory of illegalities.
For those keeping track of the case, the case number is 072401694. The Victor Valley Station's Deputy, Staci Parks, is the point of contact for this case, ready to field calls that might help put these perpetrators behind bars for good.
