A suspicious activity call was made after a proactive resident's Ring camera alerted them to masked individuals lurking in their backyard. Responding to the scene, deputies from Apple Valley Police Department conducted a traffic stop on Rincon Road and Shoshonee Road. Inside the vehicle, they encountered four males and discovered a significant amount of stolen property. According to the report by Apple Valley Police Department, all occupants were detained on suspicions of possession of stolen property.
The subsequent investigation swiftly linked the recovered items to reports of vehicle burglaries and vandalism that had rolled in from the local community. Through carefully pieced together efforts, officials managed to quickly to return a large quantity of the items to their rightful owners. The accused, Wesley Robert Kimble, Cade William Goslyn, Daniel Anthony Hernandez, and Zachary Ryan Pond, were booked at High Desert Detention Center under various bails, with Hernandez being held without bail, as the police statement detailed.
Despite the quick turnaround in property recovery, the Apple Valley Police Department still holds unclaimed items from that fateful night. Victims who reported a crime are urged to contact Evidence Officer Carlson to potentially identify and reclaim their belongings. Those who had yet to report can still reach out to dispatch to file their claims.
